Want to feel confident tucking your hair behind your ears?
For protruding or large ears, a correction can improve both appearance and self-confidence. The procedure can be performed at any age, although for children, we recommend correction before school age, as the ear is nearly fully developed by then.
The surgery is done under local or general anaesthesia. An incision is made behind the ear, leaving no visible scar from the front. The cartilage is reshaped to restore a natural appearance.
Post-surgery, the ears are bandaged, and a headband must be worn consistently day and night for one week, followed by another two weeks during the day and night.
