Otoplasty made pointy ear shape. I had otoplasty 6 weeks ago. The procedure left my ear with a shape that makes the top look pointy. At first the ears looked overcorrected but have releases. But naturally. However, the middle part of my ears are so pinned back that the top has a protruding shape. Im really worried about this and whether they will correct naturally as they continue to heal. If not, are there revision options? Someone who didnt know I had surgery actually asked me what happened to my ears. I was so embarrassed and that confirmed all of my worries. Im attaching a photo to show what part of the ear shape Im worried about. I did express concern to my surgeon but he seems to think it is not a shape problem.
It has been 7 weeks since the otoplasty procedure so I resumed my contact sports. Well I got hit with the ball and got elbowed pretty hard on my ear. I stopped playin since the elbow hit, since I could still feel the sensation. My quetion is, should I worry? Will my ear's stiches weaken or just break apart? This is my concern, hope to hear some responses
Surely the swelling should be subsiding not still going after 6 weeks. My ears have just started protruding more. I was so happy with them. But today feel like they are sticking out more than normal and swelled. My right ear even more than my left. Could it be the heat causing this as it is a hot day today? They feel like a very slight burning sensation. I can not lie on them still as it's uncomfortable and still wear a band at night. My helix and anti helix is swollen, aswell as the back.
I got my procedure done may 9th my issue is that I had was that at the top my ears were pointed like a elf but now that I have all my stitches out it seems like it's slowly reverting to how it use to look and it's frustrating because I did everything I was told it seemed like when I would take off my headband 10-15 min later they would stick out a little and now it's looks like it's sticking out a little bit more and I'm just really frustrated with it all like I know it takes time for the healing process
Had my otoplasty 6 weeks ago and I went to the gym thinking I would be fine. Since yesterday it has been bothering me a little behind one of ears where I assume the permanent stitches are (other ear has no pain). I am an athlete so when I exercise I tend to go 100%. Prior to this I wasn't annoyed by the stitches at all on the ear. It's a little tender/sore and it's a dull pain. What is this redness due to? Was done overseas so going back to the surgeon isn't really an option.
I had an otoplasty (1 1/2 month ago) and the position of one ear (right) is closer to head and make it look like is in a higher and little bit forward position in comparison to the left ear. I had a permanent suture otoplasty and i would like to know if ...Massaging... the area (which area?) will relax the cartilage or the suture to make the right ear(high) to fall in better position?
