Second Time Otoplasty

Hi Mert. There is always risk involved with surgery. When a second procedure is performed on a previously-operated site, healing can be less predictable due to the scar tissue present at that site. If you find the appearance of one ear unsatisfactory, check with your surgeon to discuss his or her recommendations. If the appearance of the other ear is acceptable, revision surgery can be limited to the ear that concerns you. Good luck.

Revision on one ear should not be a problem. Yes, there may be more scar tissue from the first surgery but  that can be addressed during the procedure.  I perform revision otoplasty surgeries on many patients and if one ear has good placement but the other is causing the patient concerns, then we only work on the one side that the patient has concerns about.

LIve Video Otoplasty Revision can be done on one ear and on an ear that has already been worked on before. Going to someone experienced in otoplasty is helpful.  You can do one side and this is not a problem. Working on the ear that has already been done before typically is okay. You would have to consult with a facial plastic surgeon to assess your situation. Pinning of the ear can be done superiorly at the antihelix and also in the concha depending on where you want the ear more pinned back and after discussing this with your surgeon.
