Ear Surgery

Our consultant Mr Michael McBride FRCS (Plast) describes the ear procedures available at Fitzwilliam Clinic.

Your ear is composed of cartilage, soft tissue, muscles and the overlying skin. The shape, position and / or proportion of your ear may be altered from birth or may be apparent with development or following trauma or surgery. Ear surgery aims to restore the normal shape, balance and proportions of the ear. Common procedures include correction of ear prominence (Otoplasty), other ear shape anomalies, repair of split ear lobes and reduction of ear lobe size.
