I recently had some work done to one of my ears. I've always been a bit self concious about my right ear. It (used to) stick out more than my left. As a matter of fact I've always felt that I was born with 2 different ears. I'm 49 years old and finally did something about it. I went to Dr. LeRoy here in Atlanta. He did a rather simple procedure to pin back my ear. The procedure involves scoring the cartilage to weaken it. This in effect erases the cartilage's memory. Then permanent stitches are placed inside the ear to hold it in its new position closer to the head. I only needed the top of my ear to be closer in which made for the simple procedure. For very extended ears, the surgery is more detailed. A wedge of tissue is removed and the ears are stiched back closer in. I am very pleased with Dr. LeRoy's work. I just wish that I had done this about 20 years ago.

Congratulations!
