Ear Surgery
Minimally invasive techniques for prominent ear correction and ear reconstruction
The earStitch Procedure
Mr O'Toole has redefined prominent ear correction surgery with his minimalist 'earStitch' procedure, which he has performed for more than 1,000 patients. The procedure takes around 60 minutes, under local anaesthetic. A simple sports headband is worn after the surgery, without the need for medical dressings.
The earStitch technique uses permanent sutures placed through tiny incisions behind the ear to reshape the cartilage and set the ear closer to the head. The result is natural-looking, with no visible scarring from the front.

What to Expect
Consultation
Mr O'Toole will assess your ears, discuss your goals, and explain the procedure in detail. He will take photographs and answer all your questions.
The Procedure
Performed under local anaesthetic as a day case. The procedure takes approximately 60 minutes. You will be awake and comfortable throughout.
Recovery
A sports headband is worn for 6 weeks — day and night for the first 2 weeks, then at night only. Most patients return to work within a few days.
Results
The ears settle into their new position over 6–8 weeks. The final result is natural, balanced, and long-lasting.
Ear Keloid Treatment
Mr O'Toole has extensive experience in the treatment of ear keloids — abnormal scars that can develop after ear piercing or injury. His earlobe reduction and total ear reduction procedures allow for a rapid recovery and a natural result, prioritising preservation of the ear's natural shape while minimising the risk of recurrence.
