About the procedure
What it involves
Prominent ears can be set back closer to the head or reduced in size in case of large ears.
Patients will be sedated and under local aneathesia. An incision is made along the crease behind the ear. The prominent cartilage is corrected and/or pinned back, and all sutures are underneath the skin and self-absorbable.
Before and after photographs
Why we do not show them
Under the regulations of the Medical Council of Thailand, this practice does not display before and after photographs on its website. That applies to every procedure on this site, and it is a rule we follow rather than a comment on any result.
If you would like to understand what the procedure can and cannot achieve, that is a conversation for a consultation, where your own anatomy and medical suitability can be assessed. Contact the clinic to arrange one.
