Can you get surgery on the ear so it does not bend when I sleep because I bent the helix and ever since then I can not sleep?

Question

Leila Kasrai, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Ear surgery can change the shape of the ears for aesthetic purposes, but it cannot make them so strong that they’re resistant to bending. Have you considered not sleeping on the one side, or sleeping on your back?

Dallas Buchanan, MD · Answer

Not sure about the specifics of your question. I would suggest you discuss this with your regular doctor to find out what is going on before jumping to surgery. You may only need an ear protector or something to help.Good luck!

Waldemar Merck, MD · Answer

If the bending of the ear during sleep gives you pain, then you shouldn’t have any ear pinning operation.
