Find superspecialist: Pointed ears are a cogenital ear deformity (aka, stahl ear, satyr ear, spock ear, vulcan ear.) this is one of many possible ear deformities adult stahl ears can surgery, but find an experienced ear deformities specialist. Routine techniques for otoplasty (aka ear pinning) are not applicable for stahl ear surgery. Newborn ears can be molded early on without surgery (earwells, ear buddies, etc.).
