Post Rhinoplasty: Recurring Irritating Sensation Following Ear Cartilage Removal

mockthree
I had some cartilage removed from my ear and transferred to my nose during a rhinoplasty procedure. I now have a non-stop 'sensation' in my left ear. It is not powerful or painful, but continually present and highly irritating. My surgery was eight months ago. Is there a way to solve this problem if it doesn't desist?
