Still can't sleep on my ears and sensitive to things that normally shouldn't bother them. There's still a tingly, numb feeling on the edges and the extra squiggly cartilage in the center is still the same size and hard. I was told worse case it would take a year to smooth out because it was just wrinkled skin. All the changes he said would happen clearly didn't. He just told me all that to get me off his back. Not much has changed since close to the beginning and I think enough time has passed now to be able to say that he just did an awful job and didn't care at all.

7 month update

After seeking other surgeons opinions and advice on where to go from here I have gathered that I will have to have them fixed. There is now another stitch that has surfaced in the front (which they told me was impossible bc they were in the back) at the bottom of the right ear. The main discomfort now is the pain from the swelling/redness in those areas where the stitches have surfaced. Still have to sleep on a donut pillow and the left one gets swollen. Which one Dr told me was it was probably because of the movement from the stitch that stays irritated bc of how long it is sticking out.

Continued....

Still numb on the tops and still hurt where the stitches are poking out. It's hard to see them in the pictures because it's just the clear tips. They get red off and on and still swell a bit during exercise. If i bump them they still hurt and I still can't sleep on them. I'm sure all that is normal, I am mostly still upset about the way they look and how they treated me. I still haven't ever seen anything like them.

Very disappointed and a huge mistake choosing this Dr. I honestly don't understand how his ratings are so high and i wish i had read all his negative ones as well. He's over rated for sure. In my terrible experience with him I wouldn't recommend him to anyone... Unless you want a Dr. who when messes up on your body isn't honest, tells you it looks fine when really it doesn't and makes you feel like it's somehow your fault or what you wanted.
