Is this a good result? 1 week post otoplasty and the ear seems too pinned from the middle. Advice? (photos)

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles with your ears. The cost of otoplasty varies from patient to patient and surgeon to surgeon. Having said that, it is probably in the $3000-$6000 range for most cases.

Thanks for your question and thanks for posting your photos. If I assume correctly, you are removing cartilage earrings in anticipation of upcoming earlobe surgery. We ask piercings to be removed for surgery to allow for the use of electrocautery or if they will get in the way of the operation....

Thank you for your question! Glasses can usually be worn once dressing has been removed. Although, I recommend speaking with your surgeon and following his/her post op instructions. Good luck!

Otoplasty are often slightly over corrected, as the ears typically “open up” following surgery.  If you want the ears to loosen up, I would give it a few more months.  Pictures would be helpful.

Every surgeon has their own postoperative protocol.  I doubt any surgeon on here would provide advice that's different from the surgeon that knows you and actually did the operation.Best,Dr. Michael EpsteinMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL
