WORTH IT$2,100
One of my stitches has "let go". My ear is hot and very itchy. Obviously infected. I'm currently on antibiotics for a sinus infection so maybe that will help. Maybe not. I can't take keflex so not sure what to do about that. Previously I've stated that I can't bend my ears forward due to pain but I can certainly do this with my let go ear now. It doesn't appear to stick out but I'll he contacting the doctor who did this procedure anyway.

ALMOST 4 YEARS LATER
Hello everyone, I like to keep you updated, because I think that this is a very interesting situation that I find myself in. Yes it has been nearly 4 years since I had my ears pinned non surgically. It has been an ongoing saga.
Yes my ears still hurt!
I wear glasses, so if I am reading in bed or on my phone laying on my soft pillow on my side my ears are pressed into the arm of my glasses. It is unbearably painful.
If I go to the hairdresser, I have to tell them repeatedly that I have had ear surgery, and do NOT touch my ears especially when washing my hair. Hair brushing by anyone but me - a total no no.
When I go to the chiropractor and he manipulates my neck - I must remind him not to touch my ears or bump my ears at all - quite hard actually.
If I go to the optometrist I cannot have my glasses arms checked and so forth as my optometrist always bends my ears forward to check the positions of the arms. It is absolute agony! I cannot stress enough that this is particularly awful. Avoid like the plague!
If someone approaches me for the dreaded air kiss or even hug I back away and this causes some strange hug scenarios. People are generally talking as they do it and so it is too difficult to explain my resistance to touch. It is easier to just be awkward and weird about it and move on with the chit chat. So weird.
Sleeping can be a problem at times. Depends on the pillow and so on.
I think I can see the stitches. I am pretty sure they look a bit like blackheads! I am obsessed with cleaning my ears inside the auricle etc with a cotton bud because I cannot wash my ears in the shower.
I cannot wash the crease behind the ear, but I do occasionally use a cotton bud (AGONY) and do a small sweep through the crease. The disgusting "stuff" that comes out is so revolting. I am always worried that people behind me can see the scum! I think it is shampoo/conditioner buildup, but surely some dead skin also. My husband assures me you cannot see anything, but I still worry!
Would I do it again?
YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES. I WOULD.

Still problematic. Glasses and the stitches don't mix. Can't touch behind my ears in the crease at all. Pain intense.
Can sleep on them but I do notice the pressure. Cannot pull ears away from head at all. Going to hair dresser is terrifying. Also optometrist! Anyone coming in for a hug or air kiss avoided!
Still vanity prevails. I like them pinned.
Very happy with how they look. Just sad they hurt

Hey, when did you made the surgery! İt looks very nice. I had same operation about April and lived same problems with the stiches. But with time it is getting better. Maybe i used to it or maybe the healing process complete i have no idea. But the thing i am sure about is it is decisson of making this operation. Hold on everything will be ok with time:)

The surgery was done in August 2016. It has been almost 4 years now. I am still in pain, if they are bumped agony. If they are bent forward I want to retaliate! Poor hairdressers and so on!
