had otoplasty 8 years ago. For a few years behind my ear has been red and swollen and bleeds when touched too hard. There is also drainage. I've been too scared to see the doctor for these years but finally went. He found & removed a suture today, but he didn't know if this was the one causing the problem. If it is the one, how long will it take for my ear to be healed? Also, could this have any long-term negative effects on me? I am very nervous.
As some of the other posters pointed out, suture extrusion is really the only long term complication. After the infected suture is removed the ear should be fine.
I'm planning to have done a small correction in my ears. One of them protude a little bit more than the other. I basically want my both ears just few millimeters closer to the head and more symmetrical. Not a huge change as I don't want them too close to the head. I'm just wondering if people I know will notice I had a surgery once I'm recovered. And do you recommend a hair style change in order to divert their attention from ears? Thanks in advance and excuse me for my poor english.
A well performed otoplasty places the incisions behind the ear where they fall in the skin crease. Gentle re-shaping of the cartilage with sutures brings the ears closer to your head. A properly done otoplasty should be un-detectable and you won't need to change your hairstyle to hide it. Good luck!
