Ear revision after facelift ?

We will, on occasion, see patients who have unfavorable scars from prior surgery. Depending on several factors, re-excision may be necessary to improve the scars. It is recommended you have a discussion with a surgeon with facial plastic surgery experience, preferably an in office examination.

You could opt for a scar revision, resurfacing treatments, or laser treatments to reduce scarring. If you would like to be seen by my clinic or med spa, feel free to reach out. 702-838-2455

Our office repairs earlobes after a traumatic tear of earrings, gauge piercings, or after a facelift in which the earlobes are stretched. Earlobe surgery is composed of several techniques that can either repair torn earlobes (split earlobes) or correct overly redundant earlobe tissue from piercings or genetics or stretching. Our HIDEF earlobe repair includes a recontouring of the earlobe contour using multi-layered sutures to reapproximate the curvature of the earlobe; while simultaneously restoring contour to the ear. In patients with pixie ears after facelift surgery, an alternate technique is used to reduce the dependance of the earlobe on the facelift flap. Facelift surgery can reshape the earlobe and this requires restoration. Sutures are usually taken out within 10 days and the wound is repierced in 4-6 weeks thereafter. Keloid scars must be addressed in patients with known history for scarring.

Keloids are another major reason to undergo earlobe repair if there is a keloid scar nodule that has developed in the earlobe or ear cartilage rim. We use a combination of lasers, injections, and keloid surgery.

It is possible to reshape your ear to make it more symmetrical with the right ear. Please seek a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in cosmetic ear surgery.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, hope you are well. It appears the position of the lobule could be corrected with a relatively minor revision. The tragus should most likely be left alone, but it's more difficult to make a judgement on that based on this picture. I would ask your surgeon, what can be done. Generally speaking, at 19 months scars are mature enough to consider revision.

Your Facelift surgeon should correct the ears for you - at no charge.
Other surgeons could attend to it, but you would have to pay them a fee.
If the problem is hypertrophic or keloid scar, the problem might come back, but it might be OK

That could definitely use some tidying up. It would be a minor revision. See if your original surgeon can do i. If not get another opinion.

You have certainly allowed enough time to consider revision surgery. Given what you have experienced, you are well-aware of unforeseen and untoward consequences of surgery and scarring which may occur.

See an experienced plastic surgeon near you for an honest assessment and discussion of risks and approaches for this revision. Other materials such as fat or fillers may be beneficial to improve the contour of the area as well as a repositioning of the lobule.

Hello, in my experience I don't suggest anything. Just it will correct your delve in the earlobe. But ı don't suggest steroid injections again.
