Still The Same
I talked to my original surgeon who did the whole thing, and he thinks the sutures have nothing to do with it but I honestly can't remember if he said that there were sutures in my ears still, regardless he brushed that idea aside. He recommended the "TNS Essential Serum by Skin Medica" to hopefully produce some collagen and skin growth. At this point it just seems like I need a way to regrow the permanently damaged skin in my ears. This is tricky because ears are such a sensitive spot so I might never be able to fix them, a temporary solution to allow me not to have to put makeup on and off would be great. I was looking into permanent makeup or something. It's important to note that the skin on my ears seems so fragile sometimes and it will even bleed on occation if it gets hit wrong. If someone has some stem cell or skin regrowth idea, or any ideas for that matter that can help me please let me know. I can't really travel anywhere with school and work to meet doctors that charge a fortune just for a consultation but anything helps. Pictures of them today are below
Extremely Unusual Otoplasty
I had an Otoplasty done almost 4 years ago now, & it turned out to be the biggest regrets I'll ever have. Everyday sense then I have had to put makeup on my ears to try to cover the dark red scarring skin that has come around my ears. I have tried scar creams, laser treatments, steroid injections, and now I am not quite sure what to do. Obviously will not help so I believe I am going to have to remove my sutures and see if I was allergic or resistent to the type of sutures in my ears. Any other suggestions on what happened to my ears or how to fix them? Any comment helps, thanks!P.S. Make sure your doctor is a specialist on whatever he is doing, not saying it was my doctors fault, but for something this permanent I wish my surgeon was more experienced.
3 and a Half Years Later...
So it has been almost 4 years and my ears still look the same as the pictures posted above. I am wondering what step I should take to try to get something fixed. Any ideas out there?
