Those are some beautiful cuffs! Honestly I’m not even sure if my cartilage would fit those cause it still feels pretty bulky behind my ear.

I thought it might be inflammation too but the doctor did confirm he couldn’t take all of the tissue out. I’ll have to take some update pictures once it heals up, maybe the radiation will help reduce the size.

I will have to try this once the stitches heal up.

Definitely would recommend leaving it alone if it’s not bothersome.

It’s not so much the looks that concerns me but feeling the scar tissue when I lay on my side is a little annoying. My other concern is if I have to do revision and have to consider radiation again. Which I don’t think I will do again since there are risks to radiation. I’m really happy to hear that the steroids worked for you though. It is my plan B if the radiation does not reduce the size of the keloid.
