If I Cut off a Blowout Will I Be Able to Keep my Stretched Ears After the Procedure? (photo)

Tags: removal, scar tissue, stretched

I have stretched ears (7/8") and I have an old blowout behind my right ear. I have been thinking about removing the blowout for quite some time now. I have literally tried every remedy in the book, including downsizing, jojoba oil massages, shea butter massages, but to no avail. So my question is, if I get the surgery done to remove the scar tissue will I be able to keep my stretched ears without having to downsize after the surgical procedure?

Excising "Blowout" of Ear

Thank you for the question. If I understand your situation correctly, the only way to remove the scar tissue around the “blowout” will be to excise it. This will leave you with a linear scar in the area. You may have to restart the stretching process after the area has healed. I hope this helps.
