Micro suction ear wax removal
Overview
Coming Soon
Micro Suction Ear Wax Removal is a simple, clean and safe procedure to remove obstructive ear wax. Micro suction ear wax removal is undertaken using a medical suction unit under direct vision with a microscope to allow the professional to see clearly what they are doing.
At The South London Private GP, only skilled and qualified doctors perform Micro Suction. During the procedure, the suction device will only make contact with the wax and not the patient's ear canal walls or ear drum to ensure safety.
Micro suction does not need pre-treatment with drops, however, 1 or 2 days of olive oil is generally considered the best preparation. Whilst examining your ear through the microscope, the doctor will safely remove the blockage in a pain-free movement.
