What Influences the Cost of Your Otoplasty
Typically, otoplasties in New York City range between $10,000 and $25,000. We recognize that this is a large range, but there are many variables at play outside of the usual surgical fees, including:
- Anesthesia
- Consultation
- Facility
A private consultation is the only way to determine the exact cost of your ear pinning surgery in NYC.
Your Surgeon’s Expertise
One of the most influential choices on the cost—and quality—of your surgery is the surgeon you choose to perform it. Keep in mind that you’re paying for the years they spent mastering the art and science behind otoplasty, not just the time to perform it.

As a uniquely dual board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and head and neck surgeon (ENT), Dr. Steven Pearlman has a unique skill set that goes well beyond the average. He leads the leaders—traveling across the world to teach other surgeons his personalized and proven techniques.
The Complexity of the Procedure
The nature of the surgery itself is also a major factor in the cost of your ear reconstruction surgery in NYC. A patient who only needs minor earlobe repair and a patient who needs complete reshaping and repositioning require different surgical plans, requiring different amounts of time and levels of skill. Again, the only way to determine what kind of otoplasty you need—and therefore the cost of your procedure—is to meet with a surgeon.
