Is the bandage manditory? I would rather not wear that to school, but if I do I'll just have to deal with it I guess.

@ExKxAxCxNxAxP

Bandage is only on for 3-4 days. It is necessry, unfortunately

[nyplasticsurg]

I'm really glad that you do this for a living, I too have prominent ears and it SUCKS. People don't realize how hard it is having something like that, with people always making fun of you to the point where your embarassed to even go out in public without the fear of getting made fun of. Thank You sir, you changing people's lives for the better.

@nyplasticsurg Alright, thank you.

Too bad I live in Iowa, would you have any idea how much it would cost in the area of Iowa City. I'm assuming New York would be more costly?

Thank you for posting, doc. Do you have any more current follow-ups so the result can be seen without the post-op bruising?

@delacerdaa the key word is seld-conscious.need is a relative term. if your ears are prominent ans do not other you,then surgery is not indicated.
