ear pinning
Surgical lobe repositioning
Ear pinning is a cosmetic surgical procedure that repositions ears closer to the head, typically to correct prominent or protruding ears.
The medical term is otoplasty.
The procedure is common in children but performed on adults as well: She had her ears pinned back as a teenager.
Figuratively, to pin someone's ears back is to reprimand or defeat them soundly.
