Pain in Ear (Otoplasty)
I had otoplasty about 6 years ago. I have recently experienced pain in the left ear; in the cartilage behind the ear. I'm just wondering if this is normal. It's not a real pain, it's more a dull achy feeling. Could this be from scarring? I really don't want to go through corrective surgery. I remember the pain being terrible. It hurts to wear sunglasses, is that normal? I'm just worried. I had an ear infection a while back and the doctor pulled my ears up to look inside, could this have caused some damage? I hope this goes away on its own. Please help. Thank you so much!
Hi Everyone, I am goin for an otoplasty procedure on the 5th Nov, I am really looking forward to it now, very nervous. I was bullied for years for it and I have wanted to get it done for years and Im 25 now I finally have the money to get it done. I dont know whether I am freakin myself out now by reading these forums but would just like some general advice really........
has the pain gone away? it could be from scarring, part of the natural healing process. a lot of times, scar tissue will develop a while after the procedure.
