Reshape the way you hear

Prominent or protruding ears can often be a source of self-consciousness. By offering pinnaplasty, commonly known as ear reshaping surgery, Adnova Clinic aims to address this issue by repositioning and reshaping the ears to create a more balanced, proportionate appearance.

What to know about the Pinnaplasty procedure

This surgical procedure involves one of our expert surgeons making incisions behind the ears to access and modify the cartilage. It is then sculpted to create a desirable shape and position, resulting in a more harmonious look. The degree that the ears are adjusted will depend on your goals, as well as a range of other potential factors. When you come for a consultation, one of our friendly surgeons will discuss exactly what you can expect before, during, and after the procedure.

The results of pinnaplasty procedure can not only improve physical appearance but also boost self-confidence, especially for those who have felt self-conscious about their ears for a significant period.

At Adnova, we also offer a range of different facial procedures such as Rhinoplasty, Facelift, Necklift, and Blepharoplasty.

Pinnaplasty Before and After

Post-operative care for Pinnaplasty

Post-operative care plays a crucial role in the success of pinnaplasty. Patients are advised to follow our surgeon’s instructions carefully, including keeping the incision sites clean and dry, wearing a supportive headband as recommended, and attending follow-up appointments for monitoring progress. By adhering to these guidelines, Adnova Clinic patients can promote proper healing and achieve optimal results from their pinnaplasty surgery. Be advised that after the surgery, patients may experience some swelling and discomfort, but this is typically manageable with pain medication and proper post-operative care.

I took my daughter to Adnova to see Mr Biggs about a nasty hockey injury to her nose. After an excellent consultation, she decided to go ahead with the surgery. On arrival, the Adnova team was incredibly friendly and efficient. She was particularly nervous about the anaesthesia, but her anaesthetist Marcus Fletcher was outstanding with her. His calm manner and gentle confidence was exactly what she needed. We were sent home same day with everything we needed to keep her comfortable at home and the results have been amazing. The piezo method used by Mr Biggs meant that bruising and swelling was limited and her confidence has re-emerged. I had definitely underestimated the incredible effect this kind of surgery can have on self-confidence. I am incredibly grateful to the Adnova team, the amazing Mr Biggs and our unsung hero of the OR, Marcus Fletcher. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pinnaplasty can be performed on individuals any age. Adnova Clinic specialises in the restorative surgery of the ears in adults.

During the consultation, the surgeon will evaluate the patient’s ears, discuss the surgical technique, and explain the potential risks and complications associated with the surgery. This thorough discussion ensures that the patient is well-informed and prepared for the pinnaplasty procedure.

The pinnaplasty procedure is intended to change the shape of the ears or pin them back, hence the name ‘pinnaplasty’. As a result, this procedure can be used to treat a wide range of ear deformities.

Just like any other surgical procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and asymmetry. However, these risks are minimised when the surgery is performed by experienced surgeons and when patients adhere to post-operative care instructions. At Adnova Clinic, we take every measure to ensure the highest standards of care throughout your pinnaplasty journey.
