Doctor doesn't want to do steroid injections and I don't want to have another surgery - what are my options? (photos)

September 16, 2022
Asked By:sometimesem in Stockholms län, Sverige

I've had 3 surgeries. I hade a bump and it was also S shaped. First time after I got swelling on the sides of the tip and the doctor did a revision. Then the tip dropped instead. He did a revision. This time, (4 years ago), I've had a pollybeak and also bump on each side of the tip. If I tape it it goes down a bit. The doctor doesn't want to do steroid injections and I don't want to have another surgery. Why is this happening and what are my options?

Can auricular cartilage graft be removed? (photos)
David M. Kowalczyk, MD, MBA, FACS says:

Good Afternoon! Yes, the cartilage graft can be removed if needed. Similar to the placement before, it should be able to be taken out through a similar pocket. It does depend on how long it's been relative to the placement of the graft because swelling can certainly occur. I would maybe suggest...
