Pinnaplasty (Prominent Ear Correction)
Prominent ears can affect self-confidence and facial balance, particularly in children and young adults. Pinnaplasty (or otoplasty) is a cosmetic ear surgery designed to reshape and reposition the ears, creating a more natural and proportionate appearance.
The procedure involves making a small incision behind the ear, allowing the surgeon to reshape or reposition the ear cartilage. The surgery is typically performed under local anaesthesia for adults and general anaesthesia for younger patients. It is a straightforward outpatient procedure, and patients can usually return to normal activities within a week or two. The results are permanent, providing a more balanced and natural-looking ear shape with minimal scarring.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a cosmetic and functional procedure designed to remove excess skin and sometimes fat and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids. It helps rejuvenate the eyes, addressing droopy eyelids, puffiness, or under-eye bags that can impair vision and give the appearance of tired or ageing eyes.
The surgery can be performed on the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient’s needs. The procedure involves making discreet incisions along the natural eyelid creases to remove or reposition excess tissue, resulting in brighter, more youthful-looking eyes. Blepharoplasty is usually performed under local or general anaesthesia, with a relatively short recovery time. Most patients see significant improvements in eye appearance, with long-lasting, natural-looking results.
