Prominent Ears (Otoplasty)
Operation to correct the ear(s), (pinna) in a patient
who feels that their ear(s) stick out or are abnormal to achieve a
more natural appearance. Why have a Ear correction?
- Correct the ear(s) to give a normal appearance.
- Correct differences in the ears either in prominence or size.
- Restore a more natural appearance of the ears and boost self-confidence.
Many patients with prominent ears or abnormally shaped ears adopt
various habits to avoid exposing their ears. This can frequently
cause undue anxiety and loss of self-confidence. However, many people
live active confident lives with markedly prominent ears, and most
patients desire surgery to correct their ears because of low self-esteem.
The operation to correct the ears is normally carried out under
local anaesthetic as a day case and involves removing excess skin
behind the ears and reshaping the cartilage to achieve a natural
appearance with minimal scarring.
A careful assessment will be required and the optimum treatment
to achieve the best result will be discussed at the time of your
Consultation.
Remember surgery will not change you or solve any life crises,
but should boost your self-confidence and enjoyment of life.
