Otoplasty results unsatisfactory? (Photo)

jrmxxFeb 15, 2023
I had my otoplasty ( ear pinning ) surgery performed 4 weeks ago on both ears. One ear was very large and stuck out, but the other ear was what I considered normal but my surgeon insisted I neeeded both done. After the bandage was removed I noticed straight away my ear was still large and the other ear so flat to my head. I also have stitches still poking out which is causing discomfort. The surgeon is cancelling follow up appointments and is ignoring me. Please can I have some advice?

I don't know the price in the UK. In Germany it costs 500 euros in the Praxis of Dr. Merck in Konstanz. Dr. Merck developed the minimal invasive " Dr Merck stitch method".

Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photos you provided it is hard to evaluate your case. I would need also photos from side, from back and close to your ears.Anyway, a revision otoplasty surgery is possible. Best regards!Prof. Dr. Selcuk Inanli

There is a new method that allows you to choose the position you like even during the operation. It is the minimally invasive stitch method from Dr. Merck in Konstanz, Germany
