The Face

• We appreciate the differences in adult and childrens’ ear reshaping surgery (‘pinnaplasty’)
• We will choose the best technique to minimise downtime and maximise results

The visible ear is a cartilagenous framework with an overlying skin envelope. As such we can use the properties of cartilage, which are distinct and different in adults and children to reshape the ear, and set it back where required, to achieve a balanced aesthetic result. We aim for an ‘un-operated’ look, minimal time off work or from school and a stable result from our surgery, under local or general anaesthetic.
