I am considering getting Otoplasty done. From my understanding it is with an incision. Not incision-less. I am 30 years old and obviously have very prominent ears. I am scared for the outcome. Possible blood clots, hearing loss…. Note scared of not being happy after the procedure with my ears still looking big and sticking out. When I had my consultation even the surgeon said there was a lot going on with the space behind my ears…. I guess that’s what I am nervous it will be a waste of money.
