My surgery included ear lobule reduction but both ears are now super tight and look pulled. (I'm one year post-op) Do I now have pixie ears and can this be corrected? My surgeon says not.

Answer: Pixie ear deformity Thank you for your photos. It does appear that your earlobes have the shape of a pixie ear deformity - and more so on the right. You naturally have detached earlobes. The reduction has resulted in an attached look of a straight line and loss of a natural bowing or convex curve of the lobe. This can be improved with revision surgery in order to release the lobe and to allow it curve slightly. Hope this helps!
