Minimally Invasive Ear Pinning (Otomodelação): A technique for mild cases of prominent ears, using only internal threads—no external cuts required. Highly indicated for patients with flexible cartilage.

📋 How is the procedure done?
- Pre-operative evaluation: Analysis of the ear anatomy, blood tests, and cardiological clearance.
- Surgery (90-120 min): Performed with local anesthesia and sedation (or general for children). An incision is made on the back of the ear, the cartilage is reshaped, and internal sutures are placed.
- Immediate Post-op: Use of a compressive headband (helmet type) for 48 hours, followed by an elastic headband at night for 30 days.
- Full Recovery: Residual swelling disappears in 3 months, with the definitive result established at 6 months.
