Pinnaplasty
SkinSense Private GP Chelmsford offers expert Pinnaplasty (ear surgery) to precisely and carefully reshape protruding or misshaped ears. This safe procedure enhances natural appearance, boosts confidence, and delivers long-lasting results.
Procedure
Pinnaplasty is a relatively straightforward surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the ears for a more natural look. Our Specialist Doctors will first apply a local anesthetic to numb the area. He will then make a small incision behind the ear, through which cartilage is modified to achieve the desired shape and position. The incisions are carefully closed to minimize scarring, and the procedure usually takes about 1 to 2 hours. You will be able to go home the same day, and the recovery process typically involves minimal discomfort, with a few weeks of gentle care to allow the ears to heal properly.
