Kosten für eine Schönheits-OP werden in der Regel nicht von der Kasse übernommen. Liegt ein entsprechender Krankheitswert vor kann in seltenen Fällen eine Kostenbeteiligung bei der Krankenkasse beantragt werden. Wir werden Sie ehrlich beraten ob eine Kostenübernahmeerklärung an die Krankenkasse Sinn macht und Sie entsprechend unterstützen.
Um Ihnen Ihren Wunscheingriff zu ermöglichen bieten wir individuelle Finanzierungsmodelle und Teilzahlungen an. Lassen Sie sich gerne bei uns beraten.
Ear Pinning in Oldenburg – Ear Correction
What does ear pinning mean?
Through incomplete developmental processes the ear can occasionally fail to form its auricle fully. This leads to so-called protruding ears, in technical terms otapostasis.
Ear pinning is one of the most frequent procedures for correcting the ears. At our practice clinic in Oldenburg we use an open surgical technique: excess skin behind the ear is removed and the cartilaginous auricle is reshaped. In adults the procedure can be carried out without difficulty under local anaesthesia; in children general anaesthesia is recommended.
I consider the time immediately before starting school to be the right moment – in order to prevent teasing and to give the child the corresponding self-confidence. The procedure can be planned as an outpatient one, with a check-up the following day to remove the tabs.
What else can be corrected on the ears?
Like every other part of the body, the ear is subject to an ageing process. Increasingly large earlobes and ear holes stretched by heavy earrings or tunnels are frequently found troublesome and are often asked about.
In a small operation under local anaesthesia it is easy to close existing tunnels and to remove excess soft tissue from an earlobe. Afterwards we are happy to help you have new earrings pierced symmetrically.
What should be considered after an ear correction?
- A headband is worn day and night for 3 weeks, then for a further 3 weeks at night only.
- The stitches are removed after 2 weeks at the follow-up appointment.
- You are able to face other people after 3 days.
- Check-up appointments take place the following day and after 2 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
What are protruding ears?
If, through incomplete developmental processes, the ear does not fully form its auricle, the ears stand out – in technical terms otapostasis. Ear pinning is one of the most frequent procedures for correcting this.
Which technique do you use?
An open surgical technique: excess skin behind the ear is removed and the cartilaginous auricle is reshaped. This creates a lasting, natural shape.
Local or general anaesthesia?
In adults the procedure can be carried out without difficulty under local anaesthesia. In children general anaesthesia is recommended.
When is the right time for children?
I consider the time immediately before starting school to be the right moment – in order to prevent teasing and to give the child the corresponding self-confidence.
How does the aftercare proceed?
The procedure is planned as an outpatient one, with a check-up the following day to remove the tabs. A headband is worn day and night for 3 weeks and then for a further 3 weeks at night only. The stitches are removed after 2 weeks at the follow-up appointment; you are able to face other people after 3 days.
Can earlobes also be corrected?
Yes. Many people find increasingly large earlobes and ear holes stretched by heavy earrings or tunnels troublesome. In a small operation under local anaesthesia, tunnels can be closed and excess soft tissue on the earlobe removed.
Can I wear earrings again afterwards?
Yes. Once healing is complete we are happy to help you have new earrings pierced symmetrically.
