I once fell on my ear and since then there is a scare on my ear and it’s a bit thickened. At that spot my ear is not very flexible and the scar is hard as well. That’s why it feels a bit like sleeping on a small rock. I get pain if I lie with my ear on something hard. Is it possible to fix my ear and rearrange the scar and make the thick part thinner? I was told my doctors in my area that the surgery is too difficult and in some cases they even would need to take tissue from my rip to fix it.
