once i came across a phrase

I have had my phone stolen

and

I had had my ears removed

I understand the meaning, but what's the grammatical rule regulates it? I have googled passive voice, but found only examples like "My phone was stolen", so don't really know what to google.

  • I really would like it if you could please change that second sentence. "I have had my **warts** removed". Thank you very much. – Lambie Jul 13 '19 at 18:08
