Is it possible to achieve the height & outside shape of my left ear on the right side? (Photos)

I believe you would only benefit from an otoplasty and do not need anything else done. Your ears are asymmetrical and one will need more retraction than the other. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

A protruding permanent suture is a rare but manageable complication of otoplasty, and prompt removal by a surgeon is the standard and effective solution.

Aging is a common factor in the development of loose skin on the face and near the ears. Trauma may also be a factor. The excess skin can be removed.

Please see your surgeon to get this suture removed. It should not negatively impact your results since it’s already been 8 months since your surgery.

Hi and thank you for your question.It appears that you have had a small separation (dehiscense) of the incision. This should heal on its own with a little antibiotic ointment. I definitely suggest that you see your surgeon but I anticipate that they will provide you reassurance.

You are early on in your recovery. Please allow about 3-6 months or so for any swelling to subside before assessing your results. At that point, if you still dislike your results, please return to your surgeon to discuss, specifying what you’re concerned about. Revision surgery may be an option.
