Pinnaplasty

Prominent ears, also known as protruding ears, are a condition in which the ears stand out from the side of the head more than normal. This might be attributed to the form, size, or angle of the ear cartilage. Typically, prominent ears are a congenital defect that can be addressed with a surgical surgery known as pinnaplasty. Although they rarely create physical health concerns, the psychological discomfort associated with this ailment can have a substantial influence on self-esteem in people of all ages. Ears that extend more than two centimetres from the head are considered prominent. Around 2% of the population believes that their ears stick out too much, and the condition is frequently inherited.

Why consider Ear Correction Surgery?

Prominent ears – There are various reasons to correct the ears, whether its to do with self confidence, or people commenting on it, we can help. 

Corrected Ears – The goal is to try and achieve a natural appearance to the set back ears. We don’t want to plaster it back so it looks completely stuck back either, but you should expect a degree of asymmetry of 1-2mm which is normal.

Methods – Ear correction is currently accomplished by a variety of techniques. The technique we use is to use permanent sutures to recreate the anti-helical folds, and then another permanent suture to set the whole ear back to the mastoid (Bony bit on the skull behind the ear).
