52 Years Male - Princes Risborough, GB

Ive been thinking about getting my ears pinned back for 30 years and more ,as they stick out a lot, every now and again id look into it and get prices but always chicken out at the last minute. Then I discovered The Aurora clinic and Doctor Adrian Richards on You Tube. I did plenty of research on him and found everybody saying positive things about his work as a surgeon. I booked an appointment with him around sept 2014 in Harley Street and was very happy with him, I really felt I could trust him. The next step was booking the operation which I did for 3rd Dec in Buckinghamshire, I did a lot of soul searching trying to talk myself out of it , even though id payed up front. The Aurora clinic is about 3 hours from my home so drove myself there with time to spare , my appointment was for 11am. Parked in Tesco nearby arriving at the clinic for 10.45am feeling really nervous , was met by warm smiles and friendly staff and had a coffee. Had some pics taken then met Dr Richards again and let him video the operation , was given a local anaesthetic in both ears which was painless , the nurse held my hand . She could sense I was scared , well I had been dreaming about this operation all my life, as long as I can remember Ive wanted my ears pinned back and I will never forget this point in my life , it was at true milestone for me.
Dr Adrian asked what kind of music I liked and I told him I liked Elvis so that was the music I had in the background. I dont think there was ever a quiet moment Dr Adrian talked and asked me questions and made some jokes , the nurses talked and joked . The hour flew by with not even a bit of pain , infact I had been a lot more uncomfortable 3 days before at the dentist and in more pain then. After the operation I had the bandage put on and I left on a high . I felt really great , it was such a lovely experience , I got in my car and drove home the 140 miles or so. I wanted to wash my hair when I got in to get rid of any blood ,so took the bandage off and managed it with out too much fuss, my ears were glued to my head and I just made sure they never got the too wet . They were still numb anyway and I took painkillers every few hours after just too make sure i would not feel any pain. I kept putting the bandage on when I slept and taking it off in the morning to have a shower. My first night was a bit uncomfortable because I didnt know the best way to sleep without laying on my ears but there was no pain. My ears were purple with bruising and looked worse than they were, I have long hair so no one noticed them , I never felt any pain at all in the healing process , I bandaged them at night to sleep and did that for at least six weeks to be on the safe side. I was given some type of surgical hood to wear at night but liked the bandage better. I went back to work in around 8 days but felt I could have returned to work a lot sooner . My ears were completely healed in around 8 weeks id say and id forgotten that they had ever stuck out and looked like bats ears. I did some tv work last year 2014 and most of the stuff got shown in January and February inc a tv commercial and all I can see is my old ears , to me they notice that much and of course everything was filmed in HD. Im over the moon with my ears now , its given me more confidence too , and I cant thank Dr Richards enough. Id highly recommend him to everyone and if anyone ever thought about having there ears pinned back to just do it , Im well pleased. I never went back like some people to have bandages removed because i live a long way away , but the offer was there.
