Hello, I am 26 years of age and I have bunched up skin behind my ears (post auricular). Is there cosmetic surgery available for this issue and if so what is the typical recovery period? If not, are there any other solutions to this problem? Thank you.
Sure! This is a relatively simple procedure that can be done under a local anesthetic. An incision is made in the crease behind the ear, the excess skin is removed and then the remaining skin is closed with sutures. The scars are very well hidden behind the ears and the recovery is fairly quick.
I have a severe case of macrotia. My ears lack entirely that lovely curl of cartilage that give normal ears their shape. Mine don't have even a hint of it. All my life I have lived in fear of exposing my very large ears (getting my hair cut is excruciatingly embarrassing). The only website I found that discusses macrotia surgery belonged to a surgeon who recently retired. Is macrotia surgery a specialty? Where can I find out more about the surgery, what to ask a surgeon, cost, etc.?
The corrective surgery your are referring to is called an otoplasty. Facial plastic surgeons, general plastic surgeons and Otolaryngologists (ENT surgeons) are all trained to do this procedure.
