Can an otoplasty come undone?

Asked By:Mellmell in Seattle, WA

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?
