What can be done to fix a botched otoplasty? (Photo)

Question

This is my left ear, after I did otoplasty for about 3 years ago. What can I do? It's under so much tension that it hurts even to move my head to the right.

Misbah Khan MD, FAAD, FACMS · Answer

from the pics it looks like there is some thicker scar formation (hypertrophic scarring) which is very common in ear surgery. it will require a surgical procedure (another otoplasty) to remove the scarring, and to smooth the helical rim. Sorry this happened but its not uncommon to have this problem after ear surgery. Im in NYC. if you wish to come see me I can help you with this. but Im sure you will be able to find someone in your area.
