Ears Pinned Back (thread Visible) Posted: 07-29-05 09:14am
Hi
my son is 7 and just got his ears pinned
back under local anesthesie in france
because it is common over there and less
expensive. Everything went well during
the surgery and he felt just a little bit
sore after for the first 2 days but
nothing major.
He is very happy but I am concerned about
something.
When we went to see the doctor 1 month
after the surgery, he saw that at 2 places
on both ears, the permanent thread they
use to help maintain the ears, is visible.
Not much at all so he said to wait
because the skin could still grow on top
of them and it could take month to a year
for that.
I am very concerned because I feel like
the skin will not grow on the thread,
maybe he could get an infection if it is
not completely heal and I guess he can not
go to the beach or pool until it grows.
What if the skin does not grow, would we
have to remove them but then, would the
ears go back like it was before ! It
would be a disaster for my son ! Please,
if anywone could help me on my questions,
I would greately appreciate it.
Thanks.

I guess thats the price you pay for cheap
services abroad. I hope it all goes ok?
