Posted under Ear Surgery q&a

Otoplasty last week. There is a big hard blood clot in the concha cymba part of my ear in both ears. How do I loosen it? (Photo)

It is very hard to the touch. Went to the surgeon and he tried to take a syringe and remove it but he said it was coagulated. How do I get it to turn back to liquid so he can remove it? What can he do if it is still coagulated when I go back on Monday? Is there anything I can do. Please help. It looks terrible!
