I had otoplasty on my ears 15 years ago. I was left with an overcorrected ear and the other ear sticking out. Would it be possible to bring both ears in close to the head as originally wanted? Thanks
8 months ago I had Otoplasty to correct over prominence on both sides. Two sets of permanent sutures added. On both theres a very prominent helix. Also on the right ear you can see that it looks over-corrected as if stapled back. The left looks better however its sensitive and many days I'll wake up with it sore in the area of the sutures and also further up at the top of the ear. Is it possible that revision can be fix the right ears over-correction and the soreness on the left?
When i was about 7 i did otoplasty on my ears so they did not stick out! The problem is that they are now completely into my head, very flat and a little deformed! There is no clearens from the "earbone" to the outer part! I can form my ear to be perfect with my hand! I was wondering if its possible to re operate so the ears are more bended more out and also so they are not so flat? Is it possible to do something with this? Im 23 years old now
The first picture is 1 day after operation and the 2nd is 1 week after after operation and the third is 3 weeks after..My doctor said that he overcorrected my ears on purpose and i need to be patient and with the following weeks or months my ears will relax and come to a more physical position..I am concerned that they will not relax and i need your opinion if my progress is good.Thanks
Hello. I had otoplasty September 2017. It has been 4 months of feeling extremely uncomfortable with the results. My ears have healed nicely per my surgeon, however, I feel they were overcorrected and I would like the sutures to be completely removed. What is the possibility of removing the sutures to bring me back to my original ears? My ears have felt so uncomfortable and I honestly feel that my ears were just to big in my cartilage area and the fold the surgeon placed there is too much.
I had my ears pinned when I was about 10 years old (22yrs old now) and they were over corrected, well the left one was. It is now an unusual shapone and its quite hard compared to my other ear. When I touch the back its as if I can still feel stitches in it. I am very self conscious of them as they have the telephone shape and people comment on the fact that they look strange. I rarely wear my hair up and it also hurts to to wear glasses or a head band. Is there anything that can be done to fix this?
Earfold implants are so visible to me, ears are over-corrected. I have been asked why my ears look funny which makes me feel self conscious. The only good thing that has come about this is that my ears don't stick out. Still experience discomfort 2+yrs on. If I were to have them removed: will the skin heal normally over where the implants were inserted? Will my ears go back to how they looked before the procedure? Will I be able to have traditional pinnaplasty once they are removed? Thank you.
I had an Otoplasty 1year ago & the surgeon overcorrected my ears by removing too much cartilage. He says he can correct them (but seems reluctant to). I've heard of corrections where a cartilage graft is taken from the rib but he says he would only take a graft from the inside of my nose. He said there would be no change to my nose, but hasn't done this procedure before & it might result in an abnormality of my ear. Do you think this would work & do you think this would affect my nose/breathing?
