Real results from our patients

Natural, balanced ears
Professional services we offer in Ear Aesthetics
We reshape the ear cartilage so that the ears sit closer to the head and look natural. The incision is placed in the fold behind the ear, so the scar is hidden. The procedure can be done in children from around age five (once cartilage development is complete) or in adults. Children usually have general anaesthesia; adults often have local anaesthesia.
We also correct congenital ear deformities and those that develop after trauma or disease. Each case is assessed individually and the best surgical approach is chosen to restore a natural shape and, when possible, function.
Overstretched or torn earring holes are corrected with straightforward local procedures. The repair is usually quick and recovery is simple. We can discuss the best option for your ear and lifestyle.
We examine your ears—or your child's—and discuss your goals. We explain whether correction is for prominent ears, another deformity or earring holes, and which anaesthesia and technique are best. We also tell you about the headband and aftercare.
Incisions are made behind the ear. The cartilage is reshaped and fixed in the new position with sutures. For earring hole repair, the procedure is local and minor. Children usually have general anaesthesia; adults often have local anaesthesia for prominent ear correction.
A headband or bandage is worn for a period depending on the technique and the deformity. We give you clear instructions on how long to wear it and how to care for the ears. Stitches are removed or dissolve as planned.
Ears sit in a more natural position; the scar behind the ear fades and is not visible from the front. The result is long-lasting. For earring hole repair, healing is usually quick with minimal downtime.
Headband or bandage as advised. Avoid touching or bumping the ears. Rest and sleep on the back if possible. Mild swelling is normal.
Continue headband as recommended. Stitches removed or dissolved. Swelling goes down. Avoid contact sports and activities that could hit the ears.
Headband may still be needed at night in some cases. Ears settle into final position. Scar behind the ear continues to fade.
Final result. Natural, balanced ear position. No visible scar from the front. Long-lasting outcome.
Surgery is often recommended before the child starts school (around age five), when the ear cartilage has finished developing. This helps avoid teasing and the psychological impact of prominent ears. It can still be done later in childhood or in adulthood.
No. The incision is made in the fold behind the ear, so the scar is hidden and not visible from the front. It fades over time.
In children we usually use general anaesthesia so they are comfortable and still. In adults, prominent ear correction can often be done under local anaesthesia. We will recommend the best option for you or your child.
We correct them with simple local procedures. The repair is usually quick and recovery is straightforward. We can discuss the technique and aftercare at your consultation.
