I underwent otoplasty 12 years ago and I've been enduring chronic pain behind my right ear since then. I finally went to see my surgeon last year and he removed a thread which had pierced through the ear and was just here for all those years. Unfortunately the pain didn't stop and since he had no solution I went to see another surgeon who told me she would not operate me because the pros outweigh the cons. Do you think I should keep looking for a surgeon who agrees to try to help me?
I got otoplasty surgery in 2011 in Thailand, the last couple of months my ear where the work was done is on and off sensitive,bit pain last day, find uncomfortable sleeping on my left ear. It might be nothing, but i am worried, the pain the last day could be because I was touching to see what part was sensitive, any help would be greatly appreciated. I do get physio on my neck, up to my ear, but they don't touch my ear, so not sure if could be that.
When i was about 7 i did otoplasty on my ears so they did not stick out! The problem is that they are now completely into my head, very flat and a little deformed! There is no clearens from the "earbone" to the outer part! I can form my ear to be perfect with my hand! I was wondering if its possible to re operate so the ears are more bended more out and also so they are not so flat? Is it possible to do something with this? Im 23 years old now
I had my ears pinned back (otoplasty) 11 years ago I have a stitch remaining in the back of my ear. After having the surgery to pin my ears back 10 days later I had the appointment for the stitches to be removed however the nurse was unable to remove one of the stitches from my left ear and advised it would work its way out on its own. This hasnt happened and I have repeatedly tried to remove by cutting it down and pulling with tweezers with no luck. Now its starting to burst thru the front of my ear and is tender. How would this be removed?
I had otoplasty done about 10 years ago and I've never really been happy with the result. I'm selfconsious about them, they look unnatural. I feel like the fold could have been done a lot better. I did hear about different methods being used to fold the ear in place which are less invasive. Can anyone share some light of the subject please.
My ears protruded, so my parents had them fixed when I was 7. For the past few years, I've had an infection every now and then behind my ear due to one stitch. I am unsure whether this was a subcutaneous stitch that poked through my skin, or a dissolvable stitch that didn't dissolve. I had the stitch removed, and my ear now slightly protrudes. Is this normal? I have read that the cartilage should retain its shape even if a permanent stitch is removed, so why is my ear protruding?
It has never been right, especially the left ear, the top bends over and looks different to the right side. It is a deep regret I ever had it done as my ears were not suitable being too big on the upper half. Is there anything that can be done? I am reluctant to let anyone do anything on them.
