Ear Cartilage was Removed During Revision Rhinoplasty, Have Had Ear Pain Since, Normal?

nosegal
I had revisionary rhinoplasty two years ago and my surgeon took out a lot of my fascia and ear cartilage to build my dorsum. Since then, I've been experiencing ear pain. Is this normal? I went to my ENT and he said there was nothing wrong, but my left ear hurts. Is this type of ear pain so long after the surgery common? What are options to make this better so it's not painful?
