Hello and thank you for your question. Thebest advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Based onyour photographs, you ear could be fixed at the same time as revision rhinoplasty.

The mostimportant aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommendthat you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon whocan evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G.

Good Morning! I actually performws a correction of a bilateral Stahl's ear deformity this morning and performed a bilateral otoplasty on a 16 yo girl yesterday to correct her significant ear asymmetry. Ear surgery is complex. You should seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in both cosmetic and reconstructive ear surgery.

Hi there and thanks for your question. At 6 months post op, you should be healed enough to wear headphones. All of the sutures should be dissolved and your incision should be fulled healed. I suggest following up with your plastic surgeon for his/her post op protocol. Best of luck!
