Dear Doctor, I respectfully express my concerns about my otoplasty results. Several months ago, I had my first otoplasty but was unsatisfied with the outcome. After three months, I consulted another doctor and underwent a second otoplasty. Six months have passed since that procedure, but I am still not content because both my ears seem to have been overcorrected, resulting in an irregular surface that doesn't complement my facial structure. Furthermore, my ear lobes are overcorrected while the upper parts of my ears remain round, giving them a telephone-like appearance. There is noticeable asymmetry between both ears. This condition has significantly impacted my self-esteem and makes me highly self-conscious. I am now contemplating a third surgery, hoping for much improved, aesthetically appealing results that look as normal and symmetrical as possible. Is it plausible to expect significantly better results from a third surgery, with no visible scarring? I eagerly await your optimistic response.
Revision timings are typically more than 3 months post-procedure, but it seems you're still unsatisfied. For patients considering revisions, I have certain requirements: 1) The concerns should be visibly apparent; minor tweaks of a millimeter are not grounds for revision. 2) There must be sufficient healing post-procedure to ensure an optimal environment for the revision. 3) I must genuinely believe that a revision will bring the patient closer to their desired outcome. If you're seeking a revision from me following an initial revision by another surgeon, it's crucial for me to understand why you opted for someone else for your first revision. This understanding will significantly influence my decision to take you on as a patient.
