Hello,

I am interested in having surgery to correct my earlobes only. They are fairly large and protrusive and make my ear look much bigger than it actually is. When I say large I mean 1.5cm ish which is ridiculous, although I have been told a sign of good luck! Anyway, is this an operation that can be done by you - if so will i still require to pay the full 2920euros?
Although the top of my ears are minutely protrusive, I am fine with this, it is just that the general appearance with the earlobe produces a fairly huge ear. I mean taking 1cm off i have demonstrated to myself makes a surprisingly dramatic change to the ear's general appearance to the point as to wearing hair behind it looks fine.
In addition to this, earlobe reduction via methods other than Dr. Merck Stitch Method - do you know of any indication as to the price you might expect (no matter how rough) of such a simple procedure. I have been fishing around everywhere for the price of just an earlobe reduction but have had absolutely no luck - all the replies I get give me prices for otoplasty or refer me to websites that help me in no way.

Thank You for any help.

Dear Tim,

A correction of the earlobe only is possible. The price would be 500 Euro for each lobe.
