Each surgeon has their own post-op instructions. It would be best to follow your surgeon’s since they’re more familiar with your situation.

It’s good to know that you’ll be seeing your surgeon tomorrow because this needs to be assessed. If it is excess fluid or an infection, your surgeon will be able to let you know what can be done.

This sounds like a extruded suture with granulation tissue surrounding it.  I would recommend you see someone to be evaluated, but seems like all that is required is to remove the suture.  This should heal fine.

It is not common to have scabby ears for this long. It is important to see a doctor to make sure there is no skin cancer underneath the scabs or a loose old permanent suture. RegardsDr J
