Would you recommend otoplasty for someone who had a keloid?

Asked By:Reliable412678 in Clifton, New Jersey

I'm considering getting an otoplasty but worried that I could get a keloid. I have a small keloid on my chest from chickenpox from 15 years ago. What are the chances I could get another keloid from otoplasty? I'm a 30 year old male of Indian origin. thanks
