Scar and puckering. I’m 3.5 months post surgery and this is how my ear is currently looking. Advice? (photos)

March 3, 2019
Asked By:004278

I’ve been massaging and using silicone gel for almost 2 months. Should I be concerned? The bottom of both my ears seems elongated and have puckering left ear only. My plastic surgeon has been attentive and suggests I may need a scar revision. Seeking any thoughts or suggestions.

Will my ear shape correct naturally as I heal or are there revision options? (Photo)
S. Larry Schlesinger, MD, FACS says:

Otoplasties heal in a way similar to most wounds, therefore complete healing is normally seen at 6 months.  At 6 weeks, most wounds are 75% healed. The 25% of healing that will go on from here until 6 months can change the appearance of your ears.  Of course, it depends on the technique your p...
