Ear surgery can address a range of concerns, including:

- Ear shape or symmetry concerns
- Stretched or enlarged earlobes
- Split or torn earlobes caused by earrings
- Changes following injury or trauma
- Age-related changes affecting the earlobes
Pinnaplasty (Ear Pinning)
Correct Prominent Ears and Improve Facial Balance
Pinnaplasty, also known as otoplasty or ear pinning, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and repositions prominent ears closer to the head.
The procedure aims to improve the position, shape and proportion of the ears while maintaining a natural appearance.
Pinnaplasty may involve:
- Reshaping the cartilage
- Reducing excessive prominence
- Improving symmetry
- Creating a more balanced relationship between the ears and face
The goal is not to create a completely different appearance, but to achieve ears that sit naturally in harmony with your features.
Earlobe Repair
Restore Damaged or Stretched Earlobes
Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure designed to correct damaged, stretched or split earlobes.
Common reasons patients seek treatment include:
- Torn earlobes from earrings
- Enlarged piercing holes
- Heavy jewellery stretching the earlobe
- Age-related thinning or elongation
The procedure carefully restores the shape and structure of the earlobe, allowing it to heal naturally.
