Years of expertise

01

The procedure

Surgery is usually carried out under general anaesthesia, though local anaesthesia can be used for adults. The incision is made in the crease on the back of the ear, and the cartilage is reshaped or repositioned so that the ear sits closer to the head. The procedure takes one to three hours.

02

Recovery

Removable stitches are taken out at around one week. Contact sports should be avoided for at least six weeks to protect the result while healing completes.
