I would want to do this same time as a revision rhinoplasty
Answer: Ear surgery and rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Based on your photographs, you ear could be fixed at the same time as revision rhinoplasty. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Correction of Stahl's ear deformity 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. Otoplasty to correct your Stahl's ears can be performed at the same time as your revision rhinoplasty. Whoever you decide to seek a consultation with, make sure they are board certified and have experience in both procedures. Good luck!

Answer: Otoplasty and scapha reduction A severe Stahl’s ear malformation has a much more severe bend to the superior antihelical crus. Your bend looks pretty gentle and would probably be amenable to traditional otoplasty suture techniques. You would benefit from “scapha” reduction to reduce the height of the ear, which also may improve the “roll” of the helix. Sorry for a lot of technical terms. Talk with an experienced otoplasty surgeon.
