3 weeks ago, I underwent otoplasty for my protruding ears. I am worried that my ears have an unnatural contour, mainly that the middle third of the ear is over corrected. Was the surgery well done? And is there some natural movement forward after otoplasty?
I popped the blisters and I am worried that it is infected already? I dont feel pain though and it appears that my left ear is more inflamed compared to my right ear. Im also worried about the scarring that it may cause. I always clean and cover it with moisture using aloe vera gel and mebo gel every night before I sleep. It has been 3 weeks and I dont see much improvement with regards of its healing. My left ear appears to stick out more compares to the right. Please see the attached photos.
Hello, 3 weeks ago, I had an otoplasty (ear pinning) surgery. I am mostly happy with the results, however I feel that my ears still protrude on top a bit. I would like opinions on my results so far. Will my ears flatten closer to my head once more swelling and bruising go down over time? I've attached before and after photos. The photo taken in the car is today, 3 weeks post surgery. The photos taken indoors was me before I had surgery.
It has been 3 and a half weeks since I had cartilage and skin removed from my helical rim. There is a small bit at the back of my ear that has healed differently. Creating two bumps or extra skin. I want it to be smooth and round. Do you think this is normal or would require being re-stitched?
I have done otoplasty for almost 3 week, only for my left ear. I wear headband for the first 2 week. But now i only tape the bandage to my ear. I notice the ear is protruding more than my first week. Does the headband affect anything about it, if I wear the headband tighter would that impact how much they protrude? Please helpp!!
The first picture is 1 day after operation and the 2nd is 1 week after after operation and the third is 3 weeks after..My doctor said that he overcorrected my ears on purpose and i need to be patient and with the following weeks or months my ears will relax and come to a more physical position..I am concerned that they will not relax and i need your opinion if my progress is good.Thanks
My left ear has a concha bowl that looks like its glued, right ear has a weird long fold that seems to concern me. My doctor keep on saying it will resolve over time but i haven't seen any changes and starting to lose hope.
I had otoplasty 3 weeks ago abroad and I'm extremely disappointed with the results. My ears have gone back to exactly how they was before. Can any doctor please explain the possible reasons why this has occurred? I had the bandage on for 10 days then moved on to headband after that in which I've just stopped wearing. Stiches were removed around 2 weeks post surgery. I don't know what to do now and I'm very sceptical about having a 2nd surgery.
Had an autoplasty 3 weeks ago, i still have swelling where the ears appear more red towards the top. The left ear especially is more swollen. Is this amount of swelling normal? I did my surgery in Prague but i can't return there as i am back at work.
I had ear surgery exactly 3 weeks ago, my ears were not reduced in size- just pinned back. I am absolutely in love w/ the way my left ear looks- it is perfectly pinned,but my right side only seems to be pinned from the bottom half down. The top half is still slightly sticking out. I noticed his from then moment my packing was taken off and I saw my new ears. Could this be swelling or did my dr just do an uneven job? It almost feels like my ear doesn't even have stitches on that part.
