Ear Reshaping (Pinnaplasty/Otoplasty)
This is surgery that aims to reduce the protrusion of the ears. This is one of the most common procedures Mr Fattah undertakes in the NHS and he has applied a number of innovations to streamline the patient experience and reduce complications. In addition, Mr Fattah is often asked to revise complications from elsewhere as a consequence of previous surgery.
The surgery involves a small incision behind the ear and using a minimal access technique, the cartilage of the ear is exposed and strong sutures are used to reshape the ear into a natural shape avoiding the tell-tale postoperative appearance of the ears being flat against the head or the natural curves of the ear being squared-off. Dissolving sutures are used to close the incision and a layer of glue is used as a dressing. The procedure is performed as a day case and most patients are able to go home within an hour or so of the surgery.
