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.
