The Philosophy
“Balance is the cornerstone of beauty. Refining the ears removes distraction, allowing the eyes and facial features to finally command the stage they deserve.”
Dr Hassan
Dr. Hassan Soueid Lead Surgeon

Prominent ears (bat ears) can be a profound source of psychological distress, heavily dictating how patients wear their hair and interact socially. Otoplasty, or prominent ear correction, is a profoundly elegant, life-changing procedure offered at Kensington Cosmetic Clinic. By meticulously reshaping the cartilage, we bring the ears into striking harmony and proportion with the rest of the facial anatomy.

Dr. Hassan typically performs this through an incredibly discreet incision completely hidden within the natural fold behind the ear. From there, the cartilage is either gently scored to create a missing fold (the antihelix) or sutured to permanently 'pin' the ear closer to the head. Conversely, for patients suffering from severely elongated earlobes from heavy jewelry, or entirely split lobes from trauma, precise Earlobe Repair surgery flawlessly excises the stretched tissue, meticulously recreating a perfectly rounded, delicate lobe.

A Return to Symmetry

These procedures, while anatomically intricate, are surprisingly swift and extraordinarily tolerable under local anesthesia. The resulting symmetry affords patients a profound, newfound liberation in their appearance.

Step by Step

Your Patient Journey

01 / The Consultation

Anatomical Assessment

We examine the cartilage strength and the precise angle of protrusion from the scalp. The exact surgical approach is detailed, ensuring expectations of facial balance are flawlessly aligned.

02 / Preparation

Profound Numbing

The entire ear and surrounding tissue are sterilized. A highly effective local anesthetic is administered, ensuring the entire procedure is experienced with absolute, serene comfort.

03 / The Procedure

Delicate Reshaping

For Otoplasty, Dr. Hassan navigates behind the ear, meticulously utilizing permanent internal sutures to reshape the cartilage memory. For Earlobe repair, the damaged tract is excised and beautifully stitched.

04 / Recovery & Aftercare

Protected Settling

For prominent ear correction, a specialized protective headband must be worn for 1-2 weeks, particularly at night, to prevent accidental folding. Earlobe repairs require only simple topical care.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

Ask a specific question
Absolutely not. The surgery exclusively involves the outer cartilage of the ear (the pinna). The deep internal structures responsible for hearing are completely and entirely untouched.
Yes. However, you must wait unequivocally for 3 to 6 months for the newly constructed tissue to gain ultimate tensile strength before re-piercing, and the new piercing must avoid the exact surgical scar line.
Yes. Because Dr. Hassan deeply reshapes the actual cartilage and secures it with robust, permanent internal sutures, the ears will remain elegantly positioned for a lifetime.
For prominent ear correction, the highly fine scar resides entirely in the crease behind the ear, rendering it utterly invisible from the front or sides.
