I am 16 years old now and I had an otoplasty done 6 MONTHS ago and they are still red and dry. I Have been putting lotion, vitamin E, Petroleum Jelly, anything you could think of, on them. I don't know what can heal them anymore, so I am obviously a little upset with the whole thing. What should... Read more

I've wanted an otoplasty for as long as I can remember. I guess I wanted it so bad that I didn't care that my dr didn't really let me talk during the consultation, and was trying to persuade me out of my original plans that I had gone over in my head for years. He also insisted that I use... Read more

The first time I had my ears done I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the Bangkok hospital was and the Dr was lovely. The procedure was fine. The only problem was my ears still protruded a lot after the bandages came off and it was so disappointing. The Dr said I could come back after... Read more

spent $4,000 in Harley Medical Group Updated 4 months ago

Now at 6 weeks post op and should have "fully recovered" and my left ear is over pinned in the middle and sticks out at the top and bottom and the right ear sticks out at the top. Very poor result and the procedure cost me £3,000 with Harley Medical Group. There is very little difference to my... Read more

spent $3,000 in Europe Updated 4 months ago

I had otoplasty performed in an EU country 14 months ago. I am generally happy with the outcome except for the right antihelix which has a depression running through it and looks unnatural. Is there anyway of rectifying this problem without a major invasive surgery?? I currently live in another... Read more

Approaching two week recovery timeframe and have weird protrusions in conchal bowls of each ear. My doctor said it was swelling when I went in for my 5 day checkup. I originally believed it was swelling but now that I am not too sore to touch it, the area feels hard like cartilage. It looks like... Read more

Hello. I had my otoplasty done 9 days ago. I took some pictures after five days and some more pictures just today. As you can see, my ears have a bit of 'telephone' effect, and the right ear is curved, mostly at the top of it. Both are swollen but the right one is more than the other; I... Read more

Right from the beginning Dr. Jugenburg was understanding and most importantly didn’t pressure me into doing anything I wasn’t ready to do. I first went to a consultation with my mother, where he guided us step by step through the procedure. Feeling more than ready I decided to book... Read more

I'll start off by saying that Dr. B is a very nice and well-mannered guy. However, I had otoplasty performed, hoping to correct my protruding ears, and now, after the procedure, my ears now have a "telephone" look, in which the middle portion is pinned, but the top and bottom... Read more
