Is it possible to create an antihelical fold without the use of permanent sutures in otoplasty?

Asked By:Eleanora01 in Sydney, AU

I'd like to know the process of creating an antihelical fold in otoplasty. What does the actual procedure involve and can it be done without the use of permanent sutures? I recently had my permanent sutures removed from just using the stitch method (no cartilage removal) as it was causing too many infections. My GP told me it was because it was a foreign body. As soon as I had them removed I have experienced no issues except now my ears stick out again.
