Ear cartilage looks deformed to me. How normal are my results? (Photo)

If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your ears, please consider meeting with several reputable facial plastic surgeons so you could see what might be best for you moving forward. In general, otoplasty surgery is performed with permanent sutures. The newly formed ear shape ends up staying that way due to scar tissue that forms around these permanent sutures. Sometimes the issue is readily seen on examination, and other times and exploration surgically is necessary. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello, hope you are well. Thank you for providing your background and photos. I agree that there is an unnatural appearance of your ears--both the contour of the helix and the excessive protrusion of the antihelical folds. This is not a normal result of primary otoplasty and is probably from overcorrection of the antihelical fold with Mustarde sutures. I would offer a revision otoplasty with the goal of restoring normal ear morphology--I think it is something you should consider. This can be done as an office procedure under local anesthesia.
Best,Dr. Tower
