WORTH IT$3,400
I had been teased my whole life for my prominent ears and it wrecked my self confidence. I couldn't wear my hair up in fear that I would get made fun of. I felt like when people looked at me, all they saw was ears. Even though people told me they didn't think they stuck out "that bad" I was still convinced that they stuck out really bad. I had always wanted to get them fixed and for my 21st birthday, my parents told me they wanted to get them fixed for me. I asked around and everyone told me to go with Dr. Hardesty. I called and booked my consultation for July 10th. I went to the consultation and booked my surgery the same day! Dr. Hardesty is as amazing in person as everyone says. He is so knowledgable and in my opinion, he is one of the best (if not the best) doctors/plastic surgeons! We payed for the surgery upfront for September 17th. At my Post-Op, Dr. Hardesty reassured me that things were going to go great and that helped my anxiety stay at a minimum. Even the day of surgery I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be and that's all thanks to how good Dr. Hardesty made me feel. I trust my life in the hands of Dr. Hardesty and I knew my ears were finally going to look normal. The surgery went great and recovery has been a breeze. I hardley have any pain and didn't take much pain medication. I LOVE how my ears look! A lot of the bruising and swelling is gone and it's only been 2 weeks! I can't say enough how happy and grateful I am! Choosing Imagine Plastic Surgery and Dr. Hardesty was one of the best decisions I ever made! I can't say thank you enough! I will reccommend everyone to Dr. Hardesty and I will return to him if I ever look into more surgery! Thank you again!

I do have some that I will post. They are post 2 weeks But already look great :) Yes I wear a headband with some 4x4s between my ear and headband to make it a little more comfortable. Took me almost the full 2 weeks to be able to lay on them and I still wake up sore from it but I have to remind myself it's only been 2 weeks. I used a neck pillow to sleep with (put my ear in the middle) and that was the only way I could sleep for a while lol

Nice, glad it worked out well for you! By any chance do your parents or siblings have protruding ears? If so, mom or dad? Trying to figure out genetics of them and if my kids would have them.
My parents don't and neither does my brother. I'm hoping my kids won't have them and mine was just a birth defect that won't be in my genes.

Neither of my parents do but my mom's dad had the same ears that protruded so they got passed down to me.

If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for the whole thing. ..I'm also looking into fixing my ears so I'm searching for the right Dr. and place to do it.

I payed $3,400 for everything and I highly suggest Dr. Hardesty. You can't go wrong with picking him!
That's so great, thank you for posting! Do you have any pics you can share? Love to see your results!
Did you need to wear a head band at night while you slept to prevent the ears from folding?
