Did I get an infection from my otoplasty?

October 1, 2015
Asked By:Itsaandy in Alberta, AB

This was just a bad otoplasty surgery and experience all together. But what I am most concerned about is if my stitches are infected? I believe the dark dots on the back of my ears are the stitches. In between the stitches the skin is very thin, like it would easily rip. This doctor had absolutely no idea what he was doing and I do not want to go back to him. Does anyone know what caused this? Should I go to a different surgeon? Please help.
