Revision Otoplasty - Washington, DC
I received an initial otoplasty on May 5th of 2017...
Two Otoplasty Attempts
Dr. Hopping is a very nice guy, but after 2 attempts at an otoplasty with him, I will let my results speak for themselves. I hesitated writing this review because he is such a nice guy, but I feel my experience should be shared. I cannot recommend my experience. I am now forced to see an otoplasty revision specialist to correct telephone ear (over correction of mid section) along with possible skin grafts to correct some pretty bad scaring. The skin split on both ears 1 month after second surgery - other surgeon stated this was possibly related to receiving steroid shots 2 weeks prior to second surgery to help with scarring, which likely weakened the collagen and therefore affected the healing process. Recommend doing your homework and using a surgeon who has lots of pictures of previous results, and doesn't use older Converse Technique or Mustarde Suture Technique, but newer techniques which have minimal scarring. Also, if your consultation is rushed then your surgery will likely be rushed. It takes time and attention to detail to do a good job, and that goes for everything, including facial plastic surgery artistry.
