Is it possible to correct ear distortion (tragus?) after facelift? My doctor says its not possible to correct. Do you know exact correction method? If any additional scar should be expected? If revision facelift is possible during ear correction? Before/after ear pictures have been attached.
Answer: Tragal Correction After Facelift Loss of tragal definition is a common tell tale sign of facelift surgery often seen in those not as skilled in the procedure though there can be many reasons to see this. Make sure you select a plastic surgeon experienced in facelift revisions. This can usually be fixed under local anesthesia. See the following link on how to find the best plastic surgeon to restore your tragus.

Answer: Ear deformity after facelift Yes, the ear can be corrected. The tragal area can be contoured appropriately and the skin advanced to create a tragal notch below the tragus. The lobule can also be posteriorly displaced to help restore the previous appearance. Seek out a facelift expert in your community that performs several different types of facelifts and specializes in facelift revisions.

Answer: Correction of Tragal Distortion after Facelift Yes, it is possible to correct or improve the distortion of the ear tragus, in most cases. The remedy depends on the cause. There are typically two common reasons for the distortion, and sometimes it's due to one, sometimes both.Causes:In one scenario the surgeon removes all or a portion of the tragus while elevating (separating) the skin from the tragus. The tragus is cartilage. Reconstruction can be attempted with fillers if only a small portion of the cartilage was removed. However, if most or all of the cartilage was removed then fillers typically provide only marginal improvements. Fillers are "gel" or "paste" like. A cartilage graft (which is solid and "firm") can and should be used to re-establish the tragal contour when a significant portion of the tragus is gone.The second scenario is when the tragus remains but thicker skin now covers the tragus and the area in front of the tragus, creating a "blunting" or loss of the prominence of the tragus. The skin covering the tragus is typically thin. Re-opening the incision and thinning the skin and re-contouring the area in front of the tragus can help re-establish the tragal contour and remove the distortion.Please be aware that sometimes more than one treatment option may need to be applied to achieve a better looking tragus.I hope this helps.
