I underwent otoplasty 12 years ago and I've been enduring chronic pain behind my right ear since then. I finally went to see my surgeon last year and he removed a thread which had pierced through the ear and was just here for all those years. Unfortunately the pain didn't stop and since he had no solution I went to see another surgeon who told me she would not operate me because the pros outweigh the cons. Do you think I should keep looking for a surgeon who agrees to try to help me?
I had a lower facelift with an earlobe reduction 6 months ago and of my earlobes looks terribly wrong. I also have tightness and some pain around my ears still. One of the earlobes has a VERY thin spot of tissue and it looks terrible. I waited 6 months hoping things would improve and they haven't. I'm not sure if anything can be done?
I had an otoplasty on 30/05/2019, after removing the helmet I noticed that the ears were practically the same (a little more glued on top). After 1 month of surgery I went to the hairdresser and he bent my ears, I was in pain for about 3 days, but I soon recovered. About 6 to 9 months after the otoplasty, I started to feel pain in the upper part of the ear at the incision site. I contacted my surgeon and he told me I had chronic pain. What can i do ?
I underwent a traditional otoplasty 17 years ago. One of my ears relaxed over the years so I had it corrected with an incisionless otoplasty 6 months ago. I am thrilled with how it looks, however it is still painful 6 months on. I did not experience any pain after a few weeks with traditional and that was more invasive with the incision. Is this normal as it's a different part of the ear cartilage that's been worked on? Or does this pain indicate a problem? Any advice would be very much appreciated!
I got otoplasty surgery in 2011 in Thailand, the last couple of months my ear where the work was done is on and off sensitive,bit pain last day, find uncomfortable sleeping on my left ear. It might be nothing, but i am worried, the pain the last day could be because I was touching to see what part was sensitive, any help would be greatly appreciated. I do get physio on my neck, up to my ear, but they don't touch my ear, so not sure if could be that.
I think I've slept on my right side my whole life, thus developed this asymmetry. It seems like my right ear is pinned back more than the left. My left ear is also signficantly lower than my right. It makes wearing my glasses a serious pain in the butt and very distracting in my daily life. There is a significant gap. If I put on my glasses, I can fit the tip of my finger in the gap between the left ear and the temple of the glasses that is supposed to rest my ears.
I had my surgery done on thursday and since the freezing has worn off my left ear has hurt a little bit (tolerable) but my right ear has been extremely painful. They are both insanely itchy which I'm assuming is due to the wrapping which is still on. My right ear is really swollen but my left ear is not. Is this a problem? I'm seeing my surgeon on Tuesday.
Hey, one month after ear surgery and very unhappy with the results. I'm one month after my otoplasty. The healing process was not easy. I had a small hematoma on the left ear that the doctor drained. And overall very bruised and painful healing. Im experiencing pain even now and still feel uncomfortable to expose the ears in public. I'm now 4 weeks after and the results is very disappointing. The difference is barely there. I'm seeing my surgeon in one week. I would love to hear your opinion about the result so far. Thank you
I have heard stories from friends who have had this procedure and read online that an otoplasty is one of the most painful cosmetic procedures, particularly after surgery. I am just wondering whether or not this is true. I find it difficult to believe as i know that many children below the age of 10 get this procedure done.
