I've had earlobe reduction surgery. I got my earlobes reduction done last week (7 days ago). Today, I went to see my doctor, and I see a small bump on the ears. I asked my doctor why there was a bump and he said something like because not all those stitches have come out yet. He said it should go away with time. Do I have anything to concerned about? pic attached
I had otoplasty for right ear 1 month back..the surgery was about folding the helical rim(Stahl's ear)..after the surgery the surgeon has not yet done well.. now my ears looks unnatural and bump like structure in top on helical...I disappointed with this...so can I go with follow up or revision otoplasty?
There was no fluid for this bump but there is a little white bump now that I've had for about two weeks. It's not hard but I'm wondering how long it will take for it to go away if it did swell up because of the impact to the ear?
I think the majority of the swelling is gone now since its been a month but can there still be some swelling or is this as good as it gets usually? I can feel the split, fracture on the inferior crux of the antihelix and there's a bump there that I think is just one side of the cartilage. Can I expect this to go down with time, assuming the car tissue underneath is still swollen to some degree?
Doctor had a hard time correcting left ear because it lacked tone. We eventually noticed small sore, bloody spot on the front of the ear. We started applying Neosporin nightly and it turned into a blister then hardened over next couple months. Dr thought it was stitch reaction at first, but now doesn't think that's what it is. We are happy with result but wish this bump would disappear. Thoughts on what it is and treatment options would be appreciated. Thank you
My son had an otoplasty in 2010. At the post-op consultation, I inquired about a small bump on the top part of his ear where it met his head. It looked like one of the stitches was tied into a knot. The physician said it was swelling and would eventually heal. At first, the bump did shrink. About a year ago, we noticed the bump was getting larger and more protruding. It seems to be growing in size. What is this lump? Can this protrusion be removed? Will it take more surgery and anesthesia?
