What does ear reshaping involve?
Ears normally stick out because a fold is missing in the cartilage of the ear (cartilage is the gristle in the middle of the ear which gives it its shape and support). Surgery is aimed at producing this missing fold and operation can be performed as a day case under general anaesthetic, or local anaesthetic, if the patient is old enough to tolerate the local anaesthetic injections. In most cases a strip of skin is removed from the back of the ear to get access to the cartilage.
