Dear doctors, I am 1.5 weeks post otoplasty. It seems like my ears are sticking further and further every day. I feel like immediately after the surgery they looked perfect, but now they are almost back to the previous position. There is still swelling, and the scar scabs are still in place. Is it possible that when they are healed, they will become closer to the head? Or will a correction be required? Thank you very much in advance!
5 days post op my right ear developed a blood blister with clear liquid? My PS called it that, It was extremely uncomfortable due to wearing a headband 24/7. After 4-5 days PS and popped it, then it scabbed (which I have not seen anywhere Post op) 4 weeks out my fold is protruding and looks unnatural. My PS said its swollen but will subsided. No improvement yet only improvement are scabs fading. Other ear looks great swelling has gone down I'm worried I might need surgery again on my right ear?
I bent one ear forward when trying to clean out dried blood behind my ear. I felt only slight pain for a second and no bleeding. How easy is it to rip a suture? I realized that some of the dried blood I removed may have actually been small scabs...no pain/bleeding, so do I need to worry? Also: 28 days after date of procedure I will be rooming with friends. I am embarrassed to wear a headband to sleep and am wondering if it would be much of a problem if I didn't wear it for just 3 nights.
I had otoplasty 3 weeks ago. Overall I am very pleased with the result. My ears look symmetrical and close to my head, yet completely natural. The thing that worries me, is the appearance of the back of my ears. There are still scabs on my ear and I can feel some stitches, 2 for each ear. I rarely have pain, but my 'scars' look bad, I include photo's (some are better than others) and would really like to know if this is normal healing for 3 weeks.
Hi,i had Otoplasty 8years ago but it has always left me with these marks that make me very self conscious. They look like small scabs or trapped dirt under the skin. I got the surgery in Australia so dont have easy access to my surgeon but hoping that someone knows what is and if anything can be done, thanks!
