Comments on: Is surgery to set back prominent ears (pinnaplasty) safe? http://www.incapitalhealth.co.uk/2009/01/surgery-to-set-back-prominent-ears-pinnaplasty-is-it-safe/ This is the blog for the Website www.incapitalhealth.com Thu, 15 Jul 2010 11:38:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Ms Graham http://www.incapitalhealth.co.uk/2009/01/surgery-to-set-back-prominent-ears-pinnaplasty-is-it-safe/comment-page-1/#comment-37 Ms Graham Wed, 28 Jan 2009 16:51:08 +0000 http://www.incapitalhealth.co.uk/?p=406#comment-37 Patient view: I was one for the 5% that had sticking out ears. As a child and adolescent it caused me huge distress and embarrassment which was detrimental to my self esteem. At the age of 16 I had pinnalplasty surgery and unfortunately I was not in the "vast majority" who were satisfied with the results. I suffered complications, the result being chondritis. Subsequently I had a further 4 operations to save as much of my ear as possible which then followed a 2 phase ear reconstruction performed by <a href="http://www.incapitalhealth.com/leading_clinical_experts/mr_david_gault.phtml" rel="nofollow">Mr Gault</a>. I am exceptionally pleased with the results of his work. Aesthetically I am comfortable and at ease. The appearance of my ears does no hold me back personally or professionally. If only <a href="www.earbuddies.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Ear Buddies</a> had been invented in 1986 when I was born I wouldn’t have to have gone through the pain and suffering that I did (pre and post pinnaplasty)!!
