Otoplasty in Washington D.C.


Ear pinning, “ear tuck,” or otoplasty is the surgical procedure for correcting ears that protrude. Otoplasty changes the shape of underlying ear cartilage by removing portions of it or by forming normal folds of the ear where they are absent. Both adults and children from Washington, DC; Chevy Chase and Bethesda, MD; Arlington and Fairfax, VA; and surrounding areas benefit from improved confidence and an enhanced appearance with otoplasty at Center for Plastic Surgery.

Best Timing for Ear Pinning or Otoplasty

As some children grow, their ears protrude noticeably further than those of their peers. Since ninety percent of ear growth is completed by age three, the need for otoplasty may be assessed any time after this point. Most commonly, corrective surgery is performed at age five or six, although it can be performed into adulthood.

How Much Does Otoplasty Cost in the Washington, DC, Metro Area?

A Reputation Built on Results

  • Dr. Fleury got me in quick, and gave me a great price for getting my gauged ears sewn up. Very nice office. Very nice staff. And the doctor himself, was also very nice. Will update after the procedure Fingers crossed he’s as good with needle and thread as he is with the scalpel-

  • I met Dr. Kunari in June of 2020 for a consultation to have a procedure known as Otoplasty or pinning of the ears. Dr. Kunari was really attentive and answered all my questions and concerns that I had pertaining to this procedure. It was my first ever cosmetic surgery and I knew I was in good hands. I felt really comfortable knowing that I could contact him at anytime and he always responded promptly. I am elated with the outcome of the surgery and even 8 months later he still reaches out to see how I am doing. I will without a doubt recommend Dr. Kunari for any plastic surgery needs. Truly wonderful experience.

  • Dr. Kanuri repaired my torn earlobe perfectly, the procedure was brief and with very little discomfort. Dr. Kanuri checked in with me a few times via email to monitor my progress. My ear healed beautifully,with no visible scarring, after a few months it was repierced. I am very happy with my results, I highly recommend Dr. Kanuri!

  • Hailey Burkett did an amazing job! This was the best facial I’ve ever had. My skin feels incredible, and she even gave my lips some extra care. I’m so happy with the results!

  • Dr. Kanari is an outstanding plastic surgeon, supported by an incredible team of professionals and healthcare staff. Within a month, we not only developed a surgical plan to repair my severely damaged nose, but also addressed two other medically necessary facial procedures. He took all the time I needed during my consultation, performed the surgery flawlessly, and his post-operative care has been exceptional. Even better, because the procedures were medically necessary, they were fully covered by my insurance. I highly recommend Dr. Kanari to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and knowledgeable plastic surgeon.

  • Had the Diamond Glow facial by Hailey & it was fantastic, it was infused with amazing serums. My skin was & is glowing. Hailey set me up with the perfect skin care too! What power hands she has doing the facial massage & neck & shoulder treatment. Left feeling so good. 😊

  • I highly recommend Dr. Albino. Dr. Albino was very patient and thorough in addressing my issues regarding a facelift. He was very honest and deemed it unnecessary at this time, I appreciate his candor and honesty in not attempting to sell me on an unnecessary procedure. I will continue to have any procedures at this office in the future as his staff is also very nice.

  • When I first began my search for a plastic surgeon, I realized that there are a lot of plastic surgeons available in this area but only a small few seem to really enjoy, talk about or specialize in facelifts. When I met Dr Kanuri for my initial consultation, I immediately connected with him, not to mention his wonderful staff, Sherry and Angel, and knew I trusted his insight and skills to do my surgery. He was very honest in telling me what he could not achieve and gave me his recommendations on how to get the best results for me. I’m 3 months post facelift and only wish I had done this sooner. Post care has been great and Dr Kanuri has responded to every concern or question almost immediately. If you are looking for the best surgeon with a warm and caring manner, Dr. Kanuri should be on your list.

  • 10 stars for Hailey! She is professional, caring, personable, and extremely skilled. She carefully listened to skin improvement goals and then crafted a treatment plan to meet them. She has spoiled me for facials forever.

  • I had a deep plane face and neck lift , CO 2 laser and fat transfer to my cheeks . The whole experience exceeded my expectations Dr Fleury and his team are exceptional !! I am thrilled with the results . This is a picture post op Day 5

    Sharon Morris
  • I got three consultations for my upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Dr. Fleury was the most thorough and least aggressive in his approach, listening to my concerns and desired outcome. I elected to have the procedure with only local anesthesia, which was absolutely adequate for me. The procedure was fast, healing took about three weeks, and I am absolutely delighted with the results as I look natural, with no visible scarring, and 100% like a symmetrical rested version of myself (my eyeliner is visible for the first time in years!). I should have done this sooner! I highly recommend Dr. Fleury and his team.

  • The pre-op meeting with Dr. Kanuri and the OR Nurse was very positive, reassuring, and thorough. They addressed all my questions and concerns. It's a very significant decision to have facelift surgery, and I felt confident that Dr. Kanuri and the professionals involved are highly experienced and knowledgeable.

    Karen Restani
  • My facial was out of this world. Such a profound difference in my skin.

    Renise Leresche
  • Dr Kanuri was so pleasant and kind to work with.. He let me show him pictures of what my vision was for rhinoplasty and he got it exactly how I wanted it! It was also comforting having him reach out to me directly a couple of times after my surgery to check in on me.

  • My sister and I both had facelift procedures (lower face/neck) with Dr. Kanuri and are extremely happy with the results. Dr. Kanuri put us at ease with his calm demeanor and knowledgeable and professional approach. In addition to the facelifts, he recommended fat transfer to fill out areas that had thinned out with age. We are so happy to look again like how we feel - i.e., with some years removed! Dr. Kanuri explained everything clearly in the pre-procedure appointments, and after the surgery he followed up to be sure everything was ok and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. He even provided his personal phone number. The nurses, anesthesiologists and staff members we dealt with were also very attentive, professional and helpful, and the office is sparkling and beautiful. The whole place inspires confidence! We can highly recommend Dr. Kanuri and CPS. A friend of ours had had a facelift with him and she looked great, so we went in for a consultation and immediately decided that this was the place and Dr. Kanuri was our doctor. We’re so happy to have found him. Thank you Dr. Kanuri and everyone at CPS!

  • I had blepharoplasty done by Dr. Kanuri under local anesthesia and I'm delighted to recommend him without reservation. He talked me through the entire procedure while it was in progress. The surgery was flawless and the scars cannot be seen ten days out from the surgery - just incredible. He is pleasant, I never felt rushed in our appointments, and he even gives his patients his cell phone number in case they have questions or concerns after the procedure.

    Rim Attabi
  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Fire & Ice Facial with Yosra! I had the most incredible Fire & Ice Facial with Yosra, and I can’t recommend her enough! From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the treatment. The combination of warming and cooling sensations left my skin feeling refreshed, glowing, and incredibly smooth. Yosra explained each step of the process and tailored the treatment to my skin’s needs. My complexion looked brighter, more even, and deeply hydrated immediately after. Plus, the relaxing environment and her gentle touch made the experience even better! If you’re looking for a rejuvenating facial that delivers real results, definitely book with Yosra. I’ll be coming back for more!

  • Dr. Albino is truly a master of his craft and considered the top plastic surgeon in the DC area for good reason! I could not be happier with my results and experience. I have had multiple surgeries with Dr. Albino including facelift, blepharoplasty, laser skin resurfacing, breast lift, liposuction, and abdominoplasty. These were performed in different surgeries over the past 5 years but each time I have been thrilled with my results. The Center for Plastic Surgery is the all-around best practice with amazing staff. From the very first consultation, I felt confident with their expertise, attention to detail and genuine care. Whether I went in for skincare, injections, consultations for surgery, the entire staff was extremely knowledgeable, caring and true professionals. Everyone was so helpful, everything was always explained so well, lots of options available and always offered a clear understanding and expectation of desired results. I can't say enough good things about the Doctors and complete staff!

  • I recently had a septoplasty/rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Kanuri, and I am so happy with the results! The entire process was seamless, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. Dr. Kanuri truly understood my vision and brought it to life perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would definitely return for any future plastic surgery needs!

What to Expect With Otoplasty in Washington, DC

After surgery, a turban-type head dressing will remain in place for three to five days. When that dressing is removed, a light dressing will be placed over the ears. (Many children wear a ski-type headband during this phase.) Ears will be wrapped at night for three weeks after surgery. At that time, healing will be largely completed. Most bruising and swelling will resolve in ten to fourteen days. Normal exercise can be resumed about two weeks after surgery, but contact athletics should be postponed for six weeks. There are rare instances of mild recurrence of the protruding ear, which can be easily corrected under local anesthesia.

CPS has been helping Washington, DC with Ear Pinning since 1986 and we’d be happy for you to come in for a free consultation.
