Ear Surgery + 1 Year Post-op Q&A

I had otoplasty approximately 16 months ago, and today I discovered that 2 little bruises appeared on my antihelix. What could've caused this. Could a stitch have snapped? I can't see my surgeon as I moved to a different city.

Hi, I had an otoplasty done a year ago, and it still feels like my ears are stiffer than they were before the surgery. They become difficult to bend. Therefore, I find it uncomfortable to go to the hairdresser. What should I do?

I had otoplasty last week and during my surgery the surgeon said he didnt need to remove any cartilage, as my ear relaxed when he cut it. But During consultation he said that my ears were stiff and he would probably need to remove some cartilage! Do you think they are more likely to spring back?

so its been a year since I had my op and im wondering if its ok not now continue with mma, also I get these sharp pains in my ears sometimes it almost feels like something is trapped, is this normal? thanks

I had an otoplasty surgery 14 months ago. Now, i want to start boxing. It's possible with my training and learning how to box, i will start to be punched after 5-6 months forthcoming period. Can it be a problem for my ears to be punched ? If it's a problem, Can I fix this problem with wearing boxing head guard or the damage can still hit the ears with this head guard ?

I had an otoplasty performed a year ago and I'm not satisfied with the effect , the ears are kind of Sharp Pointed now , the problem is that the Concha of the ears was Maximally cutted Pined back, . so my question is it possible to cut the top of the HELIX of the ear (cartilage) and Pin it back ? , am very sorry for my english . but please look at the pictures to see what I mean . on some pictures I'm showing how i would like them to look and which area I'm talking about . Thank you

I had an Otoplasty 1year ago & the surgeon overcorrected my ears by removing too much cartilage. He says he can correct them (but seems reluctant to). I've heard of corrections where a cartilage graft is taken from the rib but he says he would only take a graft from the inside of my nose. He said there would be no change to my nose, but hasn't done this procedure before & it might result in an abnormality of my ear. Do you think this would work & do you think this would affect my nose/breathing?

I've done othoplasty a year ago and I always felt discomfort but this week I have headache and neck tiredness I can't even read my books I lost my productivity and I'm scared this will long always.I'm 70% sure this headache comes from my ear sirgery because I never had headaches before ear surgery and I have headache behind my head near ear areas please help me what should I do I feel scared to cntact my surgeon because my othoplasty failed and I dont believe him anymore thank you.

Hi, Ive had an otoplasty a year ago. I do not currently talk to the surgeon that preformed it, as we fell out, hence why I can't ask him. Please could you answer my following questions: 1) Will my ear ever return to how they were? 2) Should I still be wearing a headband? 3) Behind my ears i get a lot of dead-skin build up, how do i clean it without damaging my ears? 4) Why are my ears still having a troll on my life (negativity).

i had Otoplasty ear pinning exactly one year ago and my ears are still stiff, is that normal? also the result is not what i expected, since the stiffness is still there does that mean the ears are still healing and i should see improvment after the stiffness goes away?
