I had an otoplasty 2 months ago. After the surgery the doctor told me to wear a headband all day during one week and then wear it for another 2 weeks only at night. After those 2 weeks my ears seems to pop out. There is almost no difference between the appearance of the top part of the ear before and after the surgery . My doctor says that the result is fine but I'm very disappointed. I would like to hear more opinions Thanks

Answer: There is almost no difference between the appearance of the top part of the ear 2 months post op otoplasty, bad results?
I am sorry to hear about uour difficulties. The single most important step will be to choose an experienced surgeon. Choosing someone with an ear reconstruction practice would be a start.
In general tge main advantage of waiying is to allow post surgical inflamation to settle to avoid bleeding....
Upon reviewing your photo, it seems that your left ear is positioned slightly bit lower than the right. Otoplasty surgery is this surgery to change the shape as well as the height of the years and it can improve your ear symmetry .
