Keloids After Otoplasty

Hi, I have been plagued with Keloids behind my ears following otoplasty 3 years ago. They were symmetrical keloids i.e appeared in the same place on both eears. I have had Steroid Injections, silicone gel and even 3 surgeries(with steroids injections) just to get them removed! My last surgery was 3 weeks ago and the keloids hav returned. I honestly dont know what to do as it seems like I will be stuck with these for life! Please can someone advise me how to proceed further.Thanks.

A: These scars can be helped with a combination of laser treatment and cortisone injections.

These scars can be helped with a combination of laser treatment and cortisone injections.  It may require multiple treatments, however the success rate is very good.  You need to see an expert who has a lot of experience treating scars with laser.

A: Ear swelling after cartilage graft for rhinoplasty

Ear swelling after taking a cartilage graft for rhinoplasty is not to be ignored!  I am glad that you were evaluated quickly by your doctor and that the hematoma was drained.   An ear hematoma, if left untreated, can lead to cauliflower ear (scarring and fibrous tissue of the ear).  I the blood has all drained out and the packing is in place, you should expect normal recovery of your ear's appearance.  Stay in touch with your surgeon to be sure the hematoma does not reaccumulate.
