Prominent ear correction or pinnaplasty is a cosmetic operation which improves the appearance of your ears. Prominent ear correction is only available privately if you are over 18. Graham Offer has performed hundreds of these procedures that have brought immense benefits to his patients and has made a significant impact in the lives of many.
You are most likely to benefit from prominent ear correction if you are self-conscious about the size or shape of your ears and they are causing you distress. A prominent ear correction procedure would be beneficial if you have unusually-shaped ears, ears that are large and tend to stick out, or are different from each other (asymmetrical). If your ears are only a little unusual, prominent ear correction will not make a significant difference. It is important to note that a pinnaplasty or prominent ear correction will not improve your physical health and should only be considered if the aim is to improve your self-confidence and to make you more comfortable with your appearance.
Prominent ear correction is usually performed under a local anaesthetic and typically takes around an hour. A small incision is made at the back of the ear and some skin carefully removed from the cartilage. The cartilage is then carefully reshaped to bring the ear closer to the head. To hold the ear in position and create natural-looking folds, stitches may be required. These will be dissolvable wherever possible. For some patients, a cut at the front of the ear may also be necessary to lightly score the cartilage and encourage it to bend towards the head.
Please see the factfile for more information.
Women often disguise the ears by wearing the hair long. After correction, with the hair up. There is a scar behind the ear, on the back of it.
The correction can be performed under local anaesthetic (awake) as a daycase procedure.

Every time I look in the mirror, I am reminded it was one of the best decisions. It made such a difference to my face and the fact that the procedure could be performed by local anaesthetic was an added bonus
Just to say that I was very pleased with the pre and post operative treatment and support from you and your team, and I am delighted with the results. This has made such a difference to how I feel about myself
Mr Offer went through my procedure many times so I fully understood what was going to happen. My Offer shaped my nose to how I wanted and I am so happy with the end result. Thank you Mr Offer for making me feel better within myself and giving me more confidence
I would like to say how grateful I am for all you have done for me and what a wonderful person you are. From the very first meeting we had, I knew you were the right person for the job to put things back into place and to give me back my confidence I longed for. The way you handled every stage was perfect to give me the courage to go through with it
Words cannot describe what you have done for me and my self-confidence. You are a truly special person who is so genuine and caring and I will never forget
Thank you are two very inadequate little words to express my gratitude and admiration for your skill, your ultimate professionalism and your warmth and empathy for your patients. I am very lucky to have been in such safe hands!
I feel like I have been given a new lease of life. The care and understanding and workmanship you have showed was above any expectations I had. The results are more than I could have hoped and dreamed of
Thank you so very, very much for what you have done for me. You have been professional, respectful and charming, I can’t put into words how the operation has changed my life. I now feel that I have regained my self-respect, self-worth and feel attractive again
