Dr. 2x board cert ; 5 star reviews.1. Right lobe has extra tissue. Both lobes look a little pulled and have a concave area between scar and the ear lobe. 2. Scaring is very raised; reddish. Can this be fixed without surgery? Micro needling? 4. 3x exams since surgery and he has acknowledged the pillow as he calls it, in front of my ear. He has stated he would fix it at no charge. 5. Did 20 HBOT, numbness resolved, scarring remains. Current itching at the incisions. 6. Advice on how to find a revision surgeon?
I had a facelift 18 months ago and I have severe itching around my ears and earlobes. Its bad enough that I feel like scratching my ears off. I have tried bio oil thinking my skin could be just dry but to no avail. I also have tiny lumps at the base of my earlobes. Is this itching normal for 18 months post op and what can these little lumps be at the base of my earlobe?
I was wondering if it may be anything to do with my Nickel allergy? I know that surgical staples are usually made from Titanium, but medical advice that I have read states -Titanium staples are never solely titanium; they all have some amount of nickel content. Patients who have allergies to nickel, for example cheap jewelry causes a rash or earrings cause break-outs, oozing, or itching, should discuss nickel allergies with their surgeon. Can you advise please?

I have nasal allergies and I take perscription meds and an over the counter Claritin. Ragweed is one of my many allergies. I put some Arnica cream around my eyes for swelling from allergies and 3 hours later they were super swollen and red. Day 3 now the skin is peeling and itchy and still some swelling. I put some on the back of my hand and on my neck, nothing no reaction. So I'm thinking after surgery just don't put it around my eyes or should I avoid it altogether? What about the pills?
