Love your ears

Cosmetic ear reshaping, also known as an otoplasty or pinnaplasty procedure, is a surgical procedure that aims to correct any irregularities in ear shape or size. The most common procedure is where overly prominent ears are pinned back and this is often performed on children as young as five. Correcting the problem at an earlier age means the child won’t suffer from any of the distress and embarrassment this problem can cause.

Mr. Tariq Ahmad also sees many adult patients seeking treatment for prominent ears. It is possible to reshape and resize the ears and, in particular, the ear lobes. During consultation, Mr Ahmad will take a full medical history and then explain what it is possible to achieve with this procedure. If he feels that your expectations are realistic, an ear reshaping procedure can be a relatively simple with a high rate of patient satisfaction. Ear reconstruction is a topic in its own right and Mr Tariq Ahmad has special expertise in these procedures which he would be happy to discuss with you at a consultation. Book Consultation
