Earlobe tightness and pain 6 months after reduction. What are my options? (photo)

April 15, 2023
Asked By:bc758 in Portland, Oregon

I had a lower facelift with an earlobe reduction 6 months ago and of my earlobes looks terribly wrong. I also have tightness and some pain around my ears still. One of the earlobes has a VERY thin spot of tissue and it looks terrible. I waited 6 months hoping things would improve and they haven't. I'm not sure if anything can be done?

It would be difficult to give you good answer based on these photos. Revision otoplasty may sometimes be very difficult to perform. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in otoplasty, is recommended. Good luck.
