I have noticed the upper part of my ear
has changed significantly over the past
couple years. Instead of having a nice
rounded flap on the top of my ear it has
become relatively flat. This is my left
ear (my right ear is fine) and below where
the upper flap should be it isn't really
flat, it is kind of bumpy like something
is there... Like everything it's kind of
hard to explain so here are 3 pictures.
One from 1999 one from 2001 and one from
2008. I am 26 years old now so in 1999 I
was 18 and 2001 I was 20, so the problem
seemed to have happened (gradually I am
guessing?) over the last 6 years. I
really just started noticing it about 3
years ago and it has been bugging me ever
since. Does anyone know what could cause
this? Anyway to reverse this?

Plastic surgery. Is this aesthetically
bothering you? Is there a functional
problem? Has your hearing changed at all?

Thanks for the reply. As far as I can
tell there is no functional problems and
my hearing has not changed at all. It is
just the look that bothers me. I went to
my family doctor and she wasn't sure and
sent me in for an x-ray (which I haven't
had). Could something actually show up on
an x-ray?

X-rays , MRIs or CT scans can help
determine is there's a physical cause of
your concern. When can you schedule the X
ray?
