1.5 years post lower facelift. Can anything be done to improve the ears? (Photos)

Question

My Dr said nothing can be done, because the scar wouldn’t be worth it. But I’m super self conscious of the unnatural appearance and missing tragus. Can anything be done to make my ears look more natural? Do I need to see a different Dr? Pictures are before, 1 week after, and 1.5 years later.

This can be corrected and it’s not really that complicated.  But many surgeons are at a loss as to how to correct it. Your earlobe needs to be reduced and reshaped and the scars adjusted as well. I have several cases I have shown in n my Instagram as to how this can be corrected

Yes - there are always options. We could do something to improve the tragus and shape of the ears for sure. It would involve moving some tisue around but should be an improvement
