Hi my name is mark 48 year old from Cheshire. Had the earfold procedure done 12 days ago and could not be happier. I had one implant in each ear and it was done by Mr Brian Musgrove at the Spire Regency Hospital in Macclesfield. I had my consultation one month prior to this on November 18th. Anyone in this area can have the procedure done within 4 weeks as Mr Musgrove attends this Hospital once a month. The results are truly life changing. The thought of surgery has always scared me to death and the traditional method would still scare me to death. I have always been petrified of surgery and needles but this method seemed so minimalistic so I plucked up the courage and went ahead with it. If there is anyone that is in the same situation and is worried about the pain of the procedure and after the op then don't be. Please believe me when I say that I didn't even feel the injections and I mean not in the slightest. Each ear took no more than seven minutes and I just chatted away with a couple of nurses and it was over before I knew it. Mr Musgrove did the first ear and I even said to him I cant believe that you have done one already. I was truly amazed to say the least. I think if you let Mr Musgrove know that your uneasy about the jabs or whatever he can make it totally pain free. If you read up on earfold procedure it tells you the injection points are where the incision is made. This may be true by some surgeons if you look on you tube and watch the procedure done at the Changes Clinic it shows just one jab to the incision point which seemed to go right up to the fold of the ear which put me off slightly. I know for a fact that Mr Musgrove gave me 3 jabs in each ear. One at the incision point one on the fold of the ear and one behind the ear. Whether or not he changed the way the ears were numbed for me because he knew I had a fear of needles or not I just don't know. Never felt a thing honestly just knew what he was doing by the way he was handling my ears. Anaesthetic lasted about 12 hours which was great as ive read elsewhere it only lasts a couple of hours. Slight stinging woke me 3.30 in the morning on the incision points but couldn't have been that bad as I went back to sleep. Took 6 painkillers and that was that. Swelling was gone by day six and bruising virtually invisible by day 8. That invisible that I went the pub on xmas eve. Hope this helps a lot of individuals out there that are really worried specially the young children. Big thanks to Mr Musgrove and his lovely PA Eileen who was wonderful also. ASTONISHING NEW PROCEDURE.

I am getting surgery by Mr Musgrove 2 weeks today (different procedure to you). I am slightly nervous and now slightly worried as the reviews i have seen on here do not seem to be very good.
Yours is good so i am glad to hear that. It still makes me anxious though.

Please don't be anxious there is nothing really to worry about. I know these are just words and words are easy to say but no matter what I say no doubt you will worry anyway just as I did. I can only say this cos I have had the procedure and without a shadow of a doubt if I had to do the same thing tomorrow I would walk in there without a care in the world. You have to look at it like I did. A few minutes of surgery compared to a lifetime of misery. Think more post op instead of pre op and this will help you as it did for me. You will wonder what all the fuss and worry was about after believe me. Mr Musgrove is a great surgeon with nearly 30 years of experience behind him and this alone speaks volumes. Mr Musgrove has got loads of fantastic reviews on his personal website . Don't get me wrong not every procedure goes to plan because not everyone is perfect so to speak. The same can be said in any profession in all walks of life you just cant please everyone otherwise they would be a God. Please don't let the odd poor review worry you because I would bet my life you will see them on every plastic surgeons reviews that are out there and if you don't then they are keeping it hidden from you. Nearly 30 years experience against another that has only 10 years? I know which I would opt for every time. Keep me posted and let me know how you went on. THANK YOU MARK.

Cheers Mark, thats good to hear.
I know what reviews are like, i own an online shop and have sold thousands of items, i rarely get reviews for things, but the odd review i do get, is from someone who is complaining about complete nonsense.
I keep thinking about the surgery and i cant wait for it to be done. It will indeed outweigh the misery.
Not long to go for me now anyway. I hope everything went well for you and have recovered well :)
All the best

Thank you for the review. I'd like to do it as well. How much did it cost?
Also i am curious if the metal would hurt your ears if you start playing with your ears like pulling, tugging, or bending them around.
Also would the metal go off in metal detectors at stadiums and airports?
