Chance of ear re-protruding years after Otoplasty due to injury? Advice?

July 7, 2021
Asked By:banon99 in Atlanta, Georgia

Hoping someone can calm my anxiety. I had Otoplasty done about 16 years ago and had little to no complications after. Last week as I was getting into my car, I banged my left ear REALLY hard on the top of the window. There has been no visible sign of injury, but my ear was sore for a couple days after, and ever since there have been very strong pulling/stretching sensations in the ear. What are these that I’m feeling? Could my ear be trying to “pop” back out?
