I have tiny bumps 3 months after otoplasty. Will these go away? (Photo)

gtrebOct 22, 2018
It's been 3 months after I got an otoplasty procedure. I was wondering if these little bumps (where the dissolvable suture was) will go away? If not, is it safe for me to get my ears pierced so that I could cover these bumps? Thank you

It is best to wait for a whole year for all the areas to heal before you do a second revision. RegardsDr. J

It looks like the top of your ear is shaped in a way that makes it look disproportionately smaller and pointed. This can be corrected with otoplasty.

It’s still quite early on in your recovery so you may notice some contour irregularities. It is common for these irregularities to appear along the incision lines. As your recovery progresses, these will most likely go away.
