Default Non Surgical Ear Pinning

Is there any such thing as non surgical ear pinning or non surgical otoplasty? I cant afford thousands to pay for a surgery but these dumbo ears are killing me! For swimming I've had to cut my hair shorter and my ears show more. Would I be able to use a strong double sided tape or glue instead of plastic surgery?

Personally, I do not know of a nonsurgical procedure in lieu of otoplasty. Glue? I wouldn't do it. Double sided tape sounds like a temporary solution, that would be sticky and hurt to remove. Plus if you're swimming, I do not think double sided tape would hold up.

If you tried taping or sticking them back with something it would probably fold them in a peculiar looking way IMO, plus I doubt it would even hold them that long.

I don't think there's anything outside of surgery that can be done, hence non surgical ear pinning isn't an option

Your best option? Swim with long hair anyways

I thought that would be the answer but had to ask anyway. After graduation I will be able to pay for ear pinning surgery.

It is a tricky surgery, so choose your surgeon carefully. Make sure you have done a good amount of research as well. Many otoplasty patients end up extremely unhappy with their results, especially when the operation is performed on an adult.

Good luck!!!

The molds are only available for children 2 years old and under. What is your affiliation with the fulvic acid site?
