San Francisco Otoplasty (Ear Reshaping)

[eimaisklhros]

how about those who had tympanoplasty and their ear pops up. can it be fixed? can it be like it was before tympanoplasty?

[ASAFYY]

its ugly if you cant see the ears!

i think a good ears loos when you can see the eears.

in this video when i saw the "after" i coudt see her ears thats ugly!

[il0v3KPOP]

is it pricey to get your ears pinned back? or 'pushed' back..

[Clemburke1111]

Useually a couple of thousand..its not that bad

[emilyjs03]

i recently had otoplasty as well and it doesnt hurt when i smile, however a blood clot formed in the right ear which means i have to wear the bandage for another 5-10 days which is really annoying cz it may mean i dont get to go to prom, so if ur considering otoplasty make sure you do it when you have lots of time to recover

[2degucitas]

For those not wanting surgery, try using double sided tape. I can't find the product, it used to be called something like "ear-ees" . There is also an incision-less method that uses stitches to reshape the ear. No cutting, and it's permanent.

[gkhjhjh]

can you give me more info about this thing you're taking about?

[2degucitas]

OK, I can't find the "ear-ee'" stuff online and I don't know why. However, there is a German doctor who does the incision-less method. I will try to find it.

hey iv been wanting to get my ears done to if it was around 9k about how much were your payments

[travellingalong]

Don't do it, it might work for alot of people, but there are alot it doesn't work for - i have been left in alot of pain and have endured it for the last year, the doctor just became dissmissive afterwards and all he wants is to put me on strongger painkillers for months, I have been taking ibuprofen for the last year so far as a result - just accept yourself, i wish i hadn't gone near it, it hurts even to smile, i wear a beanie to bed and wake up during the night with pain.

[2degucitas]

Go get a second, or even third opinion from another doctor! There is no need to be in pain. Make sure you let them know you had them done and need a correction. Insurance might cover the correction.

[WhoReallyGivesADamn]

dude, something obviously went wrong with your surgery. it's the day after i've had my surgery- i haven't even gotten a look at my ears yet, and it barely even hurts to smile(remember this is the day after).

[travellingalong]

i didn't think it was normal as it is only one of the ears, i've had tried everywhere i can think of to get help and don't know what else to do. the hospital aren't helping at all, and the surgeon doesn't want to know - and it is pointless seeing him as they have left me in his care, but he is just rude to me about it because i complained to the hospital. spent the last 5 months trying to get it fixed or get someone to help me. then they say wait 18 months - i'm from overseas & want to go home 2

[jason99hmp]

let us know your doctors name or at least the location , so we can avoid from getting a surgery done by him

[travellingalong]

sorry didn't realise this was just san francisco when wrote - i'm in uk so u prob don't have any need to worry. its not 7 months, i'm on 3 sets painkillers by gp, still trying to get help from hospital concerned, not happening, seeing solicitor now as no choice can't work and he will send me to another surgeon for opinon - oh did get one free from hosp and he said stitches internally look to be pulling - but they haven't let me back to see him. can't smile hurts, so painful.

[abdabs11]

does it hurt i might be having it done soon and im worrid and also do u have to have any injections leading up to or after the op??

[man3prieto]

lol who cares about big ears. i have big ears but i just wear a basketball headband like hlafway over my head than over my ears, than i grow my hair out n dye it black n the headbands black so u cant see it . but when i take the headband off i just superglue my ears ot my head. it works

[SlipknotBootlegs]

waste of trouble for me, one of my ears tured out fine, the other is completley flat at the top and looks horrible and deformed. dont bother!

[buggs101]

im not liking this.. all i need is for my ears too be slightly changed.. not pinned against my skin

[luna252525]

i had today a ear operation and you dont have to worry about it you don t feel anything about it..

Don t be scared be confident...

It will be done in about 90 min and the result is good but don t look out for infections that can give you problems but don t think about that ive you have qeustions just ask me greeting

[ppinkygoesblind]

hell no..its painful as soon as the anaestatic is gone.and it will be pain till few days..im on the second day after otoplasty.

[luna252525]

a ear surgery is so easy to do for doctors..

It s taking 90 min both ears only the problem is that it cost to many money

[ZSKURD]

my ears do not stick out but they r big can they rduce the size?

[Rythem4ever01]

Not with Otoplasty, you're talking about plastic surgery. I've had it done, it's just reshaping.

[mikanally]

Yes. It's called macrotia reduction. I'm thinking of getting it myself, but all these negative comments..I'm not so sure now.

[pwkits]

im getting it done im 15 bu im kina scared about wat will happen wen i go bak 2 school

[elias225]

nothing will happen dude, n dont be scared -- u must be very confident and dont give a fuck what people say....good luck ;)

[sam10india]

@pwkits aweh its okay , i got mine done a few weeks ago and if they make fun of u becuz u got surgery , atleast u can fix ur problem they cant !! dont be scared it really is only painfull for a day dont be scared .. its worthit

[KARTOONSTAR]

how much is it in Canada??????? by the way I'm 14, and i want to get my ears done too, but i'm a little scared, n all..

[xDontxMindxHerx]

I had this done when i was 9. OHIP even covered it for me because i was "deformed enough". My ears looked amazing when they took the bandaging off, and i felt so beautiful. But now i wake up every morning and hate myself. This isn't a big change to under go, i'll admit, but it proves that i couldn't accept myself without going to great extents like plastic surgery. I was fine before the plastic surgery, and now people think less of me for getting it. You dont need plastic surgery.

[davidson01]

I'm in the same boat as you. I had the procedure when I was 19, and now I regret having it done. It would have been better to accept my ears as they were. They even look unnatural now.

[delacerdaa]

which doctor did you go to and in what city

[slimzeexxx]

i have aquestion do they ur ears like how want them

[darkhotness]

i have a question, my doctor said i have to cover my ear by headband at least foe 3 months. is it true?

[testament1uk]

Is it possible / usual for the ears to look different due to swelling after the Op. My friend has the top part of one ear - helix area - sticking out wereas the other ear is flat against the head 14 days after the Operation for protruding ears. The area does look bruised.

[2degucitas]

Your friend needs to take this up with her doctor if it hasn't been resolved by now.

[bcwan3]

It takes about 1 week to be able to return to work without the headband and 1-2 days for the bandage to be removed.This surgery takes about 3 month to totally recovery from this surgery but only 6 weeks before you can restart with some form of physical activity.

How much is it in canada?

[Antoniopetrou]

how long does it take to recover ???
