The ears are one of the most noticeable features of the face and having them in the proper size, shape and location can have a significant impact on the overall balance and aesthetic appeal of the facial appearance.

Feelings of inadequacy, shame and hatred may all be underlying psychological responses to peer rejection. The psychological benefits of this surgery are often just as important as the physical benefits.

Once you decide to go forward with this surgery, a comprehensive medical evaluation is done to ensure that it is safe to conduct the procedure on you. Mr Ammar Allouni uses tiny incisions behind your ear that are hidden in the fold on the back of your ear to reshape, fold or remove your ear cartilage as required. Stitches will then be used to hold your ear in position after it is in the correct place. The incisions will then be closed using fine stitches.

Otoplasty (Prominent Ear Correction) operations are generally performed with a local anaesthetic, and sometimes under general anaesthesia. This is determined on a case-by-case basis by Mr Ammar Allouni and the patient. The procedure usually spans between 1.5 to 2 hours. 

Typically, there are three main types of Otoplasty (Prominent Ear Correction) surgery.

• Pinnaplasty: Pinnaplasty is a surgery in which the protruding and prominent ears are pinned back to make them aesthetically pleasing.

• Ear reduction:Ear reduction, as the term implies, is a surgical treatment to reduce the size of the ears.

• Ear correction: Ear correction refers to ear surgery intended to repair abnormalities in the ear that have been present since birth or were induced by accident.
