Pictures from front - revision otoplasty ear surgery in female patient.
Otoplasty Sculpture: Both ears Revision Conchal Bowl Deformity and Revision Over Folded Antihelix.
35 year old female wanted a revision otoplasty after surgery by another surgeon. She felt her "anti-helical folds (were) deformed. Both ears are very overcorrected. My ears look extremely unnatural." "The natural curve of the helix rim was lost from the front view. The top part of the Y of the anti-helix is way too folded and prominent. Conchal bowl shape has been lost ... and a strange-looking ridge (was there) like a hearing aid." She elaborated that she "didn't really have a low self image before the (prior) otoplasty... I simply didn't like to wear my hair in a pony tail because my ears stuck out. Now, I'm paranoid about the wind blowing my hair away from my ears." She has been to another surgeon for advice before coming to see Dr. Bermant, but said she was told by that doctor to go back to her first surgeon.
