Yes my ears still hurt!
I wear glasses, so if I am reading in bed or on my phone laying on my soft pillow on my side my ears are pressed into the arm of my glasses. It is unbearably painful.
If I go to the hairdresser, I have to tell them repeatedly that I have had ear surgery, and do NOT touch my ears especially when washing my hair. Hair brushing by anyone but me - a total no no.
When I go to the chiropractor and he manipulates my neck - I must remind him not to touch my ears or bump my ears at all - quite hard actually.
If I go to the optometrist I cannot have my glasses arms checked and so forth as my optometrist always bends my ears forward to check the positions of the arms. It is absolute agony! I cannot stress enough that this is particularly awful. Avoid like the plague!
If someone approaches me for the dreaded air kiss or even hug I back away and this causes some strange hug scenarios. People are generally talking as they do it and so it is too difficult to explain my resistance to touch. It is easier to just be awkward and weird about it and move on with the chit chat. So weird.
Sleeping can be a problem at times. Depends on the pillow and so on.
I think I can see the stitches. I am pretty sure they look a bit like blackheads! I am obsessed with cleaning my ears inside the auricle etc with a cotton bud because I cannot wash my ears in the shower.
I cannot wash the crease behind the ear, but I do occasionally use a cotton bud (AGONY) and do a small sweep through the crease. The disgusting "stuff" that comes out is so revolting. I am always worried that people behind me can see the scum! I think it is shampoo/conditioner buildup, but surely some dead skin also. My husband assures me you cannot see anything, but I still worry!
Would I do it again?
YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES. I WOULD.

Can sleep on them but I do notice the pressure. Cannot pull ears away from head at all. Going to hair dresser is terrifying. Also optometrist! Anyone coming in for a hug or air kiss avoided!
Still vanity prevails. I like them pinned.
Very happy with how they look. Just sad they hurt
Provider Review
As I said Dr Beaini is amazing. Just a very nice guy. Chatty, easygoing, professional without being arrogant (as some professionals can be). He's down to earth and kind. I have given three stars for email becuase there was some confusion during my emailing and so on, but this was apologised for and caused little drama. As I travelled interstate for my procedure it was tricky getting a appointment on a day where I could get cheap flights, this took a bit to organise and I did get a bit frustrated at times when emailing and phoning, but all in all it was ok. The staff that spoke to me upon my arrival were a little ambivalent, but perhaps that was just in comparison to the high level of excitement that I was feeling... 40 yrs of waiting and the day had come... I sort of expected a bit of a fuss... But Dr Beaini made up for that... He was fabulous.
