Revision facelift - which ear should be revised? Dr is only willing to do minor revision. Both are awful and painful. (photos)

Question

Revision face lift 2021, correction to inadequate first lift with severe pixie ears. Revision helped neck slightly but butchered ears. Dr. is willing to do minor revision to pull the unattached lobe down into a pixie shape like the other one, I'm just not sure that is the best way to go. Left tragus is pulled and painful but he will not address. Natural lobes are attached and dainty, closer in size to the left pixie. What should I do? Discuss with doc again? Find new doc? Help! Thank you!

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

Pixie ears are actuslly pretty straightforward to fix if the surgeon knows how. If your original surgeon can do it that’s ideal because the costs should be minimal as opposed to going to another surgeon. But it’s worth getting a few opinions before deciding.
