I had a otoplasty surgery done due the reason of me thinking my ears do extremely stick out. There were slight differences between the shaping of my ears, but i feel like after the otoplasty major asymmetry occurred . My surgeon said he can fix it with reconstructing a couple of stitches in a way lighter operation compared to the first. But i don't know if i can trust him with the procedure, i'm seriously considering treatment from other surgeons. Do you think it can be fixed easily? Thank you.

Answer: Post Otoplasty Asymmetry Perfect symmetry does not exist and often there are minor variations between the two ears preoperatively. However, I think your situation has room for improvement especially in the superior poles. This can be achieved with a relatively minor in office procedure with some local anesthesia.

Answer: Otoplasty revision Perfect symmetry is impossible, but I do think that there is room for improvement with your current results. Revision otoplasty to bring in the superior pole of the ears (that's where I see the greatest issue), is a little trickier to do, but is still a fairly minor procedure. If you don't feel comfortable with your current surgeon, meet with a couple of other doctors to see what they think can be done. These are, however, generally fixable problems.All the best, --DCP Pearson Facial Plastic Surgery®
