Prominent or protruding ears can make men feel self-conscious, especially in photos, professional settings, or during close social interactions. Many men also dislike how protruding ears affect short hairstyles or fade haircuts.
Otoplasty for men (ear reshaping or ear pinning surgery) corrects ear position, angle, and structure to create a more balanced, natural, masculine facial appearance. The results are permanent and typically life-changing for confidence.
Bangkok is a top destination for male otoplasty thanks to specialized surgeons, discreet care, and natural-looking outcomes.
What Is Otoplasty for Men?
A surgical procedure that reshapes or repositions the ears closer to the head by:
Correcting excessive cartilage curvature
Reducing ear protrusion
Improving symmetry
Reshaping the antihelical fold
Adjusting conchal cartilage
The goal is a natural, proportional, masculine look, not an overly pinned or “surgical” appearance.
Male Aesthetic Considerations
Men have distinct preferences:
✔ Natural ear angle (not overly flat against the head)
✔ Balanced shape that complements short hairstyles
✔ Stronger cartilage reshaping for male anatomy
✔ Symmetry without feminization
✔ Avoiding overcorrection
Otoplasty must maintain the rugged masculine structure of the ears.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Men who:
Have protruding or prominent ears
Feel their ears stick out too far
Are self-conscious about photos or haircuts
Want a more proportionate face
Desire permanent correction
Good for both young adults and older men.
