Hello all
I've just had an email from someone asking how are my ears now 3 years on.
In all honesty, I probably wish I never had them done. I've had quite alot of problems with my left ear and had to get 1 of the ear folds removed due to constant swelling and pain in my ear after sleep and whenever I touched it.
The swelling caused my ear to become a bit deformed. It's now gone down but my war has started to protrude a bit again.
The whole thing hasn't been great for my mental health really as it's got me down and still does on many days.
If I was faced with the same problem again, I'd just accept myself more for who I am and go with it. I'll add some pics and see what you think.
When I compare with before photos, I agree they do look better, but the swelling etc has not been worth it I don't think.
I'm constantly paranoid that I have coliflour ears and feel like others are looking at them, this has made me more self conscious than I've ever been!
Let me know your thoughts....

Wow, amazing results, thank you for sharing them here on RealSelf!
I'm curious, what prompted you to go with this Ear Fold procedure versus traditional otoplasty?
July 5, 2016
Thanks, I guess it was down to weighing up what could go wrong and down time. I run a company and didn't want to be bandaged up for too long. Also, the earfold seemed to be a lot less involved in terms of surgery, it just appealed to me more. Also with less risk it seemed.

Day 2

Day 2:
Ears are really swollen today, and very tender to touch. Had a rubbish sleep as each time I turned I felt the pain and woke up. The bandages helped a little bit but not a great deal.
Feeling a little underwhelmed as the swelling is so much my ears stick out a lot at the bottom. But, they weren't like that after the procedure so I'm sure they'll just settle down.
I had no pain killers all day as didn't feel I needed to. Yes a slight ache but not worth taking pain killers for.
A constant ringing sound in my ears, but nothing to worry about i think, just pressure from the swelling.

Hello. I had mine done yesterday with spire in Leeds. Interesting that your bandages are off already as I've been told to keep them on for 1 week until I go back next Thursday.did they say why you could take them off so quick?

That explains it then, earfold you don't need bandages. Different type of procedure. 30 years is a long time to wait to put right.

Ah ok. Yeah I left it! It was fairly traumatic as a child. Life got in the way and I've just decided to take the plunge. Thanks for the response.

Hi, thanks for posting your experience. It sounds like what you had done is somehow different than most otoplasty for protruding ears, am I right? Is this some kind of new technique? All i've read about are ones where you need to wear full bandages for 1-2 weeks.
Keep updating us and let us know if youre happy with the end result. To me they already look REALLY good. Congrats.
I check this site a lot as I am really wanting otoplasty but being very cautious about it for now.

Any some updates from you? It's 2019, is that surgery worth it? Are clips gone prominents under your skin?

If I was you, I was invest in you in a different way. In fixing the mind to accept you as you are. Who gives a toss what others think. What matters is what you think. If you accept and like yourself, then that's ultimately all that matters.
