ear surgery

First Glance Aesthetic Clinic ~ Woman with flower

If your ears stick out, you can have them pinned back so they lie closer to your skull. This straightforward surgery has been popular for decades with men, women and children.

How is it done?

Depending on the esthetic result you want, Dr. Lockwood will either pin back the existing cartilage with permanent sutures, or remove and trim the excess to form a more attractive shape. Because incisions are made behind your ear, they are not noticeable.

What is the recovery like?

The recovery period is typically 2 weeks, with no contact sports for 3 months. There are minimal risks involved, including bleeding, infection and reaction to anesthetic.
