I just had otoplasty 1 wk ago. The head wrap came off 2 days ago. While puttling the band on, I ripped the top stitch. one ear is stitched to my head still, while the ripped stich has released the hold on the top. Was the skin stitched suposed to attach to eachother, or will the other ear do this once the stitches desolve as well. I am stuck in the head band, if i take it out i can feel a pull on the top of the ear where the stich scliced. It start to protued out slightly and is uncomfortable.
Hello there, I have done otoplasty 7 months ago, and I happen to still have some stitches behind my ears, and they are visible. I have phoned my doctor, and he told me that they will dissolve on their own. These are stitches coming out from the skin, so how long would it take for them to completely disappear? One more month?
I had my otoplasty done November 17, today is January 5th, I am wondering when I can get a haircut as my barber has to push my ear down to line it up. My surgeon put in dissolvable sutures but removed them about 3 days ago. When I asked him he said I could get it anytime but I just want to make sure that it's safe and that it won't change the appearance of my ears.
I had otoplasty 13 days ago and I am not happy.My ears are way too close to my head like there is no space between my head and my ears.I told her that but i feel like she didnt listen.She says that when the stitches dissolve my ears going to stick out for half cm but still Im not happy with that either.Also, inside of one of my ear is looking weird and ugly. Should I undergo another surgery to fix the weird ear or just get a revision surgery for both of my ears?Also, will my ears stick out after a while?
My Surgeon Used Dissovable Sutures Externally And Internally i am not sure what sutures were used, I Am Current 5 Weeks Post Op My Ears Look Like They Are Symmetrical Sometimes And Thrn Sometimes They Don't I'm Scared My Ears Will Go Back To Normal, Also My Right Ear Is still swollen will my ear go back after swelling or spring forward a bit ? When can I sleep without a headband ?
Just had otoplasty surgery done 8 days ago, my DR told me I have dissolvable sutures inside & outside my ears, how long does it take the sutures to dissolve ? Also what are chances of the sutures breaking before they dissolve ?
I had otoplasty done a month ago. I believe they put permanent sutures on the inside to keep my ear permanently pinned, but there are stitches on outside as well. They said these stitches were dissolvable but they are not dissolving or going away. Is this normal, and if not, what should I do?
How common is recurrence of prominent ears after otoplasty using dissolvable stitches? Just been reading a post about someone's ears going back to how they was and started to worry about it
