Otoplasty revision? (Photo)

October 16, 2023
Asked By:Stephenmurdock99 in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

I had an otoplasty last December but I’m not 100% sold on the finished result. I’m not sure if it’s just me but I feel like the ears look a little drooped/prominent still. Just wondering if there is any opportunities to set them back? I’ve also noticed that the scars appear quite raised still, with a noticeable lump on one ear. Is this a normal part of the healing process? Or should I contact my surgeon?

Can a helix piercing migration be fixed? (Photos)
Eric M. Joseph, MD says:

When you remove the stud, if the piercing hole is not unsightly and large, it may be best to leave it alone and consider re-piercing your earlobe in a more favorable position. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
