Otoplasty (surgery of the ear) was developed in ancient India and is described in the medical compendium, the Sushruta Samhita (Sushruta's Compendium, c. 500 AD).The book discussed otoplastic and other plastic surgery techniques and procedures for correcting, repairing and reconstructing ears, noses, lips, and genitalia that were amputated as criminal, religious, and military punishments.
It belongs to the closed ear pinning surgeries because the ear is not cut open for the placement of the sutures. According to the experience of the author the Stitch Method is suitable for all protruding ears. The stitch method is the most frequently performed otoplasty among the minimally invasive methods.

Protruding ear, otapostasis or bat ear is an abnormally prominent human ear. It may be unilateral or bilateral. The concha is large with poorly developed antihelix and scapha. It is the result of malformation of cartilage during primitive ear development in intrauterine life. [1] The deformity can be corrected anytime after five years of age.
Amber Tamblyn has opened up about getting her ears pinned as a 12-year-old child star. "As a little girl, I had ears that stuck out like butterfly wings," the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants ...
This is a plastic surgery of the antihelix that is carried out with the scratch or scoring technique. Underlying this method is the evidence that the cartilage bends itself convexly to the opposite side after scratching or scoring. [citation needed] A long incision is made on the back of the ear and a strip of skin is removed.
The technique is used for protuberant "lop" ears to correct the problem in the least invasive way. From the back of the ear, permanent, non-absorbable sutures (called by Fritsch "retention sutures") are placed invisibly into the cartilage of the external ear pinna with a unique technique, whereby the stitch passes in and out of the same needle hole achieve the desired pathway for the suture to ...
The Mustardé ear pinning surgery is, according to the opinion of Weerda [4] not suitable for all ears. A similar method, by which the cartilage is left intact, is the so-called Stitch method. [5] But the ear is not cut open with the stitch method, which is why it belongs to the closed and minimally invasive otoplasties. [citation needed]
Ear shaping is the process of altering the shape of the human ear(s) as a body modification practice, often resulting in a non-human appearance. The medical procedure via which ears are reshaped to give a normal appearance is known as otoplasty. Ear shaping is usually performed by body modification artists.
