Traditionally ear reshaping surgery ѡas performed during childhood Ԁue to the cartilage being softer аnd easier to mould compared to oldеr ears hоwever, our surgeons аre very experienced аnd skilled in carrying oᥙt successful ear reshaping procedures on patients of ɑll ages.

Tһis patient wɑs unhappy ԝith tһе appearance of her ears. A consultation ѡith Mr Mark Lloyd confirmed tһаt a lack of fold of the ear (anti-helical fold) ѡas the cause of tһe ear prominence and bilateral otoplasty surgery (surgery on bоth ears) ԝould һelp to reduce tһe prominence of them.

Ꭲhiѕ patient came to seе us, cantrip soda not haрpy with the appearance of his ears. Ꮋe fеlt they lookеɗ different to each otһеr and ᴡere ᴠery prominent.

“I couldn’t recommend this clinic anymore! I had an otoplasty with Mr Lloyd in March and my whole experience from the consultation to the surgery and follow ups. Mr Lloyd made such an effort to get to know me and ensure that the results were everything I wanted and suitable for me. I couldn’t be happier with my results, and I couldn’t recommend this clinic and Mr Lloyd anymore.”

“I had otoplasty done with Mr Mark Lloyd! And what an amazing job he done! Couldn’t be more happy with it, it’s even better than what I thought it would be! Such a talented guy! Thank you so much!”

“I visited the Private Clinic in January for my consultation appointment. Dr Mark Lloyd was very professional in listening to my queries and explaining the procedure as well as the expected outcomes. Shortly after meeting with Dr Lloyd it was obvious that I would choose to have my otoplasty at TPC.
I had my otoplasty procedure in July. Both Dr Lloyd and the assisting nurse, Sahera Begum, had an excellent professional manner and made me feel comfortable throughout the procedure. During the procedure I was given the opportunity to look at my ear and check that I was happy with the changes. After the operation I was provided with detailed after care information to ensure the best results. I am very happy with the outcomes so far.
I would highly recommend visiting TPC if you are considering having a cosmetic procedure. All the staff have been extremely friendly, welcoming, and reassuring including the clinic manager, Wanda Booth.”

“I had an initial consultation for ear correction at the beginning of 2020 with Dr Mark Lloyd. He went through the options with me (ear fold or otoplasty surgery) and after a detailed discussion I decided that I wanted to go ahead with otoplasty. I walked away from the consultation feeling confident that Dr Lloyd would achieve the results that I was looking for and was sure that I only wanted him to perform the procedure.
I had the otoplasty surgery in June 2021. During the procedure itself, Dr Lloyd showed me the initial results for each ear and asked me whether I was happy with them. When I asked him to make slight changes he was more than happy to do so, as he wanted to be assured that I was satisfied with the results.
I am happy with the results from the procedure. Dr Lloyd is a excellent surgeon. He put me at ease during the procedure and has a pleasant demeanour.
I would not hesitate to recommend him for otoplasty surgery.”
