Had ear surgery for almost 2 years ago and still think my ears look asymmetrical and weird. One of the ears also have a pointy antihelical fold which a think look extremely ugly and unnatural. Should it look and feel like this or can ut be reversible. I just think that I made a terrible mistake and would never done this if I knew the outcome :( And yes I may have BDD so this surgery did not help to be honest.
I'm 16, and for the past 3 years most of the day I've been wearing a computer headset, and I've noticed my ears are pushed back more than they were before, my right one noticeably more than the left. If I stop using the headset will they go back to normal, and after how long? Thanks
I had my ears pinned back 6 months ago and I'm not totally satisfied with the results. I really liked my right ear results, but the left ear looks weird to me. I'm not sure if I'm being reasonable about it. But, if my concern makes sense, a description of what is wrong would be really helpful. Thank you in advance.
Surely the swelling should be subsiding not still going after 6 weeks. My ears have just started protruding more. I was so happy with them. But today feel like they are sticking out more than normal and swelled. My right ear even more than my left. Could it be the heat causing this as it is a hot day today? They feel like a very slight burning sensation. I can not lie on them still as it's uncomfortable and still wear a band at night. My helix and anti helix is swollen, aswell as the back.
Hello, 3 weeks ago, I had an otoplasty (ear pinning) surgery. I am mostly happy with the results, however I feel that my ears still protrude on top a bit. I would like opinions on my results so far. Will my ears flatten closer to my head once more swelling and bruising go down over time? I've attached before and after photos. The photo taken in the car is today, 3 weeks post surgery. The photos taken indoors was me before I had surgery.
2.3 weeks post op otoplasty Excellent aesthetic result but Im concerned my swelling upper part of ear hasnt settled. Looks like hematoma? Same swelling from the start but I thought would have settled by now Still very tender and itchy. Thank you
Dear doctors, I am 1.5 weeks post otoplasty. It seems like my ears are sticking further and further every day. I feel like immediately after the surgery they looked perfect, but now they are almost back to the previous position. There is still swelling, and the scar scabs are still in place. Is it possible that when they are healed, they will become closer to the head? Or will a correction be required? Thank you very much in advance!
I had surgery on September 1, 2023, but since then my ear is still sore, red, cartilage is sticking out and it's still peeling. By the way, I really don't like the result, my right ear looks like it's swollen in, I have cartilage sticking out of my left ear, my earlobe is sticking out, my two ears are not even the same, they are asymmetrical. I am very disappointed, as I was very bothered by my protruding ears, but if I had known that they would look like this after my surgery I would have refused a thousand percent, as I did not have protruding ears but ugly ears. My question is, could this be improved or is it reversible and a new operation would not help this condition and now I will have ears like this? Thank you very much in advance for your answers! (I have attached the pictures, even of my ear before the operation)
