Otoplasty with poor ear lobe position - angle looks unnatural
ORIGINAL POST
Otoplasty with Poor Ear Lobe Position
The attached photographs show the results of my 14 year old son’s otoplasty. The photographs are 4 weeks post operation. Unfortunately the plastic surgeon did not address the ear lobe angle/position during the otoplasty surgery. We questioned the surgeon before the operation specifically about ear lobes sticking out post operation and he dismissed our concerns stating that he did not anticipate any issues with the ear lobes. As you can see in the photographs, the angle/position looks unnatural in relation to the rest of the ear. We are soliciting feedback regarding the photographs and would like opinions on what procedure/technique might improve the ear lobe angle/position (V to Y, trimming cauda helicis). We are also requesting virtual consultations from board certified plastic surgeons who are experienced with this type of earlobe surgery who think the earlobe position can be improved. We are willing to travel anywhere in the US.
