Botched Otoplasty 23 years ago

Postby Davin » Tue Jul 13, 2010 10:14 pm

I had a very bad otoplasty done in Ireland 23 years ago. there is a small piece missing from one ear, and the other has an obvious cartilege ridge down the middle and sticks out or droops about an inch out from my head. I guess I just need to know if I should pursue another operation or if my ear being already 'worked on' can't really be made to look normal again.

hi,
somehow i am only seeing the photo of the left ear but maybe because i am on my ipad. i am lecturing so just traveling with this thing and don't have other ways to view your photos. it is very hard for me to give you proper advice without seeing you in person. that being said, it really depends on how much it bothers you. at least for the ear i see, i could pin the upper portion back and possibly perform a cup reduction. however, the degree of bending back in the central pole may make a cup correction have visible cartilage edges. i am sorry that i cannot mention anything further. somehow should really see you in person to give you a better idea.
best,
sml
