Otoplasty for Men in Washington D.C.


For men in Washington, DC; Chevy Chase and Bethesda, MD; Arlington and Fairfax, VA; and surrounding areas with prominent or protruding ears, it’s easy for other strong features to be overshadowed. Otoplasty, commonly known as ear pinning or an “ear tuck,” is a procedure used for correcting this condition and bringing balance to your overall appearance. By removing portions of the underlying ear cartilage or forming normal ear folds where they are absent, our plastic surgeons are able to make ears more proportionate to your head and facial structure.

When to Consider Male Ear Pinning

For some children, protruding ears can become a great source of embarrassment. By the age of three, 90% of ear growth is completed and the need for ear pinning may be assessed at any point after this. While corrective ear surgery is commonly performed during childhood, many adults benefit from this procedure as well. If you are uncomfortable or self-conscious about the appearance of your ears, the first step is consulting with a plastic surgeon experienced with otoplasty.


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

The cost for otoplasty (ear pinning) starts at $7,500, depending on whether one or both ears are operated on and the complexity of the procedure. We will provide you with a personalized cost estimate after your consultation with one of our providers.

  • What to Expect from Ear Pinning Surgery


Depending on the age of the patient and level of correction required, ear pinning may be performed either under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, administered by one of our board certified anesthesiologists. An incision will typically be made in the back of the ear, allowing your surgeon to shape the cartilage and adjust size.

Ear pinning is an outpatient procedure and most patients recover quickly. There will be some swelling that will cause the ears to look larger temporarily. When you resume normal activity or return to work will depend on your comfort level with the appearance of your ears while your body is healing. The resulting scar is faint, inconspicuously located, and generally fades over time.

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!

  • Several years ago, I had gynecomastia surgery on my pecs that went well. I continued to try working on lingering belly fat for years after but between not giving up enough carbs and work stress, it wasn't going anywhere. After getting a quote from my former doctor, I did some research and found Dr Albino. I ended up scheduling the surgery on my stomach and flanks almost immediately after meeting him. A year later, I've been very happy with the results. His bedside manner is great, he was very accessible to me/checked in via text, and his prices were reasonable. I'd recommend him to a friend and would use him again.

  • Paramount to his gentle and personable bedside manner are the results he can deliver. As a man going into his 30s, I tried for years to manage my reality dealing with Gynecomastia. I had many reservations about committing to a procedure to fix my issue but Dr. Albino put me at ease and did an incredible job. He was an absolute pleasure through the process and this procedure has been nothing short of life changing. I was the man who wears winter clothes all year round for fear my swollen chest would draw negative attention. Now I find myself impatiently waiting for summer so I can showcase my new physique and it is very much because of Dr. Albino and wonderful team at CPS!

  • 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!

    Ruth Garcia-Andrade
  • 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. 😊

    Judith Pappas
  • 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.

    Diana Ellyn
  • 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.

    Lisa Beaty
  • 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.

    Farnoosh Gibson
  • 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!
