Question

I have been looking at your website and am very impressed with everything I've seen.

I was hoping you could answer something for me. I have seen your page on ear reshaping. Do you / can you reshape the ear in terms of its angle from the side - it's somewhat hard to explain, but some ears (including mine) can be at a rather strange angle, turned / leaning backwards.

Can you do anything for this?

Answer

I am not sure whether I visualise correctly the shape that you are describing, but most of the time the procedure will not be able to rotate the ears in a vertical plane.

Perhaps, if you would send me some photographs, I may be able to comment more.
