Our surgeons are skilled in a of techniques that allow precise alterations to the ear’s cartilage and skin, ensuring results that harmonise with your natural anatomy.
For ears that protrude more than desired, our surgeons often employ an ear pinning technique. By sculpting the ear cartilage, they can position the ears closer to the head.
By reshaping or repositioning one or both ears, we aim to create a more symmetrical look that can significantly enhance the overall balance and harmony of the face.
In cases where the ears are larger than preferred, we can surgically reduce their size, improving the balance and proportion.
If the top part of the ear is under the scalp, we can release and reposition it to make it more visible.
Reshaping and sometimes adding cartilage can correct ears that appear folded or bent, enhancing the overall ear structure.
The duration of surgery can vary, but it typically takes about two to three hours.
