I had an otoplasty in 2001. I was extremely happy with the results. However after 5 or so years I began to feel like my ears were protruding more and more. It got to the point where I feel like they protrude just as much as they did before the surgery. Can this happen or is it all in my head?

The best way to tell if your in need of any touch up surgeries or revisions is to closely view your before and after pictures. Additionally keep in mind as we age our ears do tend to grow a may get slightly larger.

Answer: Otoplasty can be under corrected and they can relapse but when they do, its usually very early in the recovery. With healing, scars form and usually hold things in place well. To see if you've had a relapse, you really need to look at your pre-op photos to refresh your memory where you started from.
