Hi, I'll be going for otoplasty and chin liposuction in two weeks' time. My surgeon said it's okay but I was thinking.. For my ears, I will be in head bandage for the first two days followed by headband for the next two weeks. For my chin, I will have to wear a compression garment for two weeks. Doesnt it clashes?
Chin augmentation and otoplasty can be performed in a single procedure. It is always to discuss any concerns with your surgeon.
i had Otoplasty ear pinning exactly one year ago and my ears are still stiff, is that normal? also the result is not what i expected, since the stiffness is still there does that mean the ears are still healing and i should see improvment after the stiffness goes away?
Otoplasty is an excellent procedure used to correct aesthetically unpleasing ears. Numerous surgical procedures are used to correct ear protrusion. The selection of procedures is based on the underlying cause of the protrusion. Some patients benefit from placing simple stitches in the ear cartilage to reposition the ears closer to the head, while other patients need cartilage removal. Often these procedures are performed in combination. With both techniques, scar tissue formation is normal, and helps to hold the ear in its new position. Scar tissue is most likely causing the stiffness which you are referring to. I would suggest not manipulating the ears with massage, etc to soften them, as these things may cause sutures to fail. I would suggest following up with your surgeon with any concerns. Good Luck.... Dr. Corrado

Otoplasty is a permanent procedure utilized to correct protruding ears in both children and adults. Otoplasty (Ear Pinning) is designed to correct protruding or disfigured ears in children and adults. The shape, position or proportion of the ear may be corrected. The goal is creation of a natural shape and position, improving the balance and proportion between the ears and face. Full development of the ear is complete after age four. Therefore, otoplasty can safely be performed on children at anytime after this age. The ear reaches full development by four years, and will not change significantly in size or shape after this age. When performed by a skilled surgery, otoplasty will provide lasting results, not a transient "fix". Good Luck.... Dr. Corrado
