Do I Need Revision Otoplasty or Is It Not Worth It? (photo)

I think the pictures show a very good result and I would strongly recommend that you avoid further surgery.  This result may not be perfect in your eyes, but please remember that the enemy of good is perfect.

I assume that the picture is showing you before surgery on the right and the others are after the procedure. It sounds like you might not want them to be pinned back too much. Knowing exactly what you are liking and disliking of your ears is extremely important. Revision should not weaken your ears too much if done correctly.

I agree with the previous posters - you have a very nice, very natural result. I doubt revision surgery will improve an already excellent result, and you may encounter unexpected problems. Enjoy your great result.

Hey Georgie12

Leave your ears alone!

 1.  The really look very natural

2.  It's not worth the money.

3.  I roll as well.  I can tell you that the scar tissue in your ears is about 80% the strength of your normal (unoperated on) tissue.  If you love Jitz, leave the ears alone.

Best of luck

Based on your photos you have a reasonable otoplasty result. There is a hint of slight overcorrection of the middle portion of the mid-helix, but it is a very acceptable result. Given that it is very difficult to unfold ear cartilage, any efforts at trying to undo it may not be stable or worth it afterwards. I would advise that you leave your otoplasty alone.
