Not sure whether ear correction is right for you?
Let us guide youOften suitable for
Prominent ears
Insufficient or flattened antihelix fold
Misshapen ears
Children from 5 to 6 years of age and adults
How does the treatment proceed?
During examination, we assess the prominent aspect, the antihelix fold, the depth of the concha, and the earlobe.
Through an incision behind the auricle, the normal shape of the cartilage is restored. The fold is formed or reinforced.
Assessment
Position, fold, concha, and earlobe are clinically evaluated.
Shaping
The antihelix fold is formed or reinforced.
Discreet closure
The incision is placed on the back of the auricle.
For ear correction we choose an approach that fits your expectations, with precise technique and smooth recovery.
