Asked By:canadaguy39 in Hamilton, ON

Hi there. I'm a 23 year old male who has had an incisionless Otoplasty done in 2016 and have had 3 revisions since. I was told any future revision will not be covered by insurance if any suture breaks or comes loose. Are there any doctors who offer an Otoplasty technique (excluding EarFold) that involves no permanent sutures whatsoever as I've also had other problems such as suture extrusion and small infections in those areas. I also read up on a "Jost Technique" recently.
