Pointed Elf Ears
We have quite a few patients coming to our office stating they would like to have their pointed 'elf ears' reshaped and reduced in size. You might be asking - seriously? Pointed, elf ears?

Changes on Front View of Ear
Here is a great discussion of what ear reduction surgery does to the front appearance of the ear. This particular patient was bothered by the size of their ears. When you saw the ear from the front view, it wasn't really obvious that the ear was excessively large.

Amazing Ear Reduction
Take a look at this amazing transformation this young lady underwent. She complained of having ears that were too large for her face. But it wasn't an issue of ear pinning, or classic otoplasty. It was that her ears were too large in size from top to bottom. Dr. Hilinski performed his famous macrotia surgery on her to provide her with ears that are now just the right size!
