Is It Possible To Fix An Overcorrected Otoplasty Surgery From 16 Years Ago?

June 18, 2011
Asked By:Superman88 in Norway

When i was about 7 i did otoplasty on my ears so they did not stick out! The problem is that they are now completely into my head, very flat and a little deformed! There is no clearens from the "earbone" to the outer part! I can form my ear to be perfect with my hand! I was wondering if its possible to re operate so the ears are more bended more out and also so they are not so flat? Is it possible to do something with this? Im 23 years old now
