Let's see the before

Good luck with the recovery!! It looks great already :)
swatz
*sigh* people would say did you get a hair cut. .and my grandpa would say. ."no i got my ears lowered"... Glad it went well, hope it heals fast and you are happy with the results. Good luck.

I have a scar like that; but it was to remove a tumor.
Imaster123
Hey @OP question. Did you only had your outer ear moved or did you also have some surgeries in the inner ear? How does that work.
TheManInTheGreyFlannelPajamaz
My inner ear was mostly in the right place but I've had impaired on that side forever, I'm hoping that once the swelling goes down I will be able to hear better

Was the ear canal and all the auditory organs low too or was it just the outside part?

That's how most labs look 98 percent of the time.

If that was me I'd tell people I got hit in the face with a broken bottle, while I was trying to save a bag of kittens off the road.
BbSnakes
I had a friend in grade school with an identical scar, and that's what he told people it was from, getting his ear moved up. Then he'd say "jk", he had to get lymph nodes removed.

Can you hear higher frequencies now?

Is it called a lobe-otomy?

Are you pulling my ear?

Thank God. I thought you'd been attacked by the buck one-fifties.
drduffer
Man spent his whole life dealing with that and I imagine it wasn’t painless in school, either.
Well done and good on you. Here: ⬆️.
Now that I think on it, I really wasn’t being insensitive with the up arrow.
teapartyyy
If you dont mind me asking was it the outer ear or the whole thing needed moving? Very cool either way ^^
hetherweaversmagic
No offense....how far down was it and that scar is better?
fudgycurmudgeon
The scar is the outline of where the ear was, genius.
TheManInTheGreyFlannelPajamaz
Scars are cool and I can wear sunglasses now
hetherweaversmagic
Good on ya, mate!
DeafBastard
Out of curiosity are you deaf in that ear?
TheManInTheGreyFlannelPajamaz
Partially
Zunderfeuer
So they didn't redirect it all with some kind of Marshall speaker?
DeafBastard
I feel your pain.
StevenAlleyn
Jeez for a second I thought I was looking at a tympanoplasty like I had last year but yours is way more metal
For reference: /gallery/qftzQTG
TheManInTheGreyFlannelPajamaz
Yeah they had to pull off most of my face and be careful with my facial nerves
StevenAlleyn
Did they need to mess around inside your ear at all? I lost my sense of taste on half my tongue for 6 months cuz of that surgery
TheManInTheGreyFlannelPajamaz
Funny you should say that, I severed my tongue 16 years ago (they can sew tongues back on) so my taste had been weird for a while
GlissindaTheTroll
What? How did that happen?
StevenAlleyn
lol jeez man give your head a break
Did they reposition the ear canal along with the relocation & am I asking too many questions?
TheManInTheGreyFlannelPajamaz
They moved it as best they could but I've always had diminished hearing on that side
olivertheoctopus
Holy shit, how on earth did that happen??
TheManInTheGreyFlannelPajamaz
Fell out of bed.

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie 'em in a knot?
Can you tie 'em in a bow?
Can you throw 'em o'er your shoulder
Like a continental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

That's a load of bullshit. I suggest looking the song up on wikipedia.
Orzahn
Seriously, I only know this song from Biker Mice from Mars.
AgnesGooch
Do your ears hang high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they sag when they are wet?
Do they stiffen when they dry?
Can you semaphore your neighbor with a minimum of labor?
Do your ears hang high?
RhinocerosLipGloss
Do your ears stick out?
Can you waggle them about?
Can you flap them up and down
As you fly around the town?
Can you shut them up for sure
When you hear an awful bore?
Do your ears stick out?
TheDildoOfConsequences
Dooo youuur ears twist round?
Can you point them at a sound?
Can you lay them back and down
Like a German Shepherd hound?
Can you keep them on a swivel
For step-mother's endless drivel?
Do your ears. Twist. Round?
AgnesGooch

Not anymore
They don’t wobble like before
Einstein9073
Not... any... more hang low, they won't wobble two and fro, cannot tie them in a knot, cannot tie them in a bow. can't be thrown o'er yer shoulder, like an OR doctor soldier, his ears DON'T 🥁 HANG 🎶 LOW 🐔

As someone who won a fight with cancer, this is my face when someone makes a quality cancer joke. This was fantastic , hopefully they find some humor in it too.
tarnok
It's a old song
CrispyNougat
But it checks out.
coothlesscthulhu
I'm well aware it's an old song, I just thought it was fiendishly clever.
SomeDetroitGuy
I've only heard that song using "boobs" instead of "ears".

Lullaby?

I've only heard it as "balls".

You should try "what if your butt was gone" by Carla Ulbrich. Written after she had a long illnes and her meds did some strange things to her. She also wrote "what if your girlfriend was gone".
DonutDad
Ok...If it's cool with you....I want to see where it was before the surgery. The scar makes it seem like it was a drastic move. I'm curious how the surgery shifts everything and what impact it will have on your hearing.
clannnacnoic
If it's something which I'm sure had a major bearing on his childhood mentally (bullying etc, cos you know what kids are like) then I'm sure a drastic move is well worth the risk)
TheManInTheGreyFlannelPajamaz
Very few pictures of that side of my face ever
DonutDad
Fair enough, how is your hearing now?
slyfox001
So, if you wouldn't mind could I ask 'how' bad the difference is? I think one of my ears is almost 1" lower. My glasses never fit right and have to be altered and are always crooked... Probably not worth doing this?
ArtisinalCheese
Understandable.
riphenstone
This right here is all the explanation I'd need.
I'm really sorry you've been tormented by that for so long, and I hope the healing is internal as well as external.
Solkanarmy
after the surgery were you looking in slightly the wrong places for the origins of sounds until you adjusted?
Evolutionist
I didn't find out until I was an adult that my left ear is bigger than my right. I was getting a haircut and she was lining up the sideburns. Haha. Wouldn't have ever noticed it.
Calicious
I have a similar scar and surgery, but that's because a spicy potato rapidly persuaded my ear and half of my face to be on the wall at the other end of the room.
Mine looked bad for about three years, and now people don't even notice it until I point it out.
thelonepig
I thought you literally meant spicy potato, like you had an awful allergic reaction.
BillandTedsUnremarkableTripToCostCo
Is spicy potato a euphemism for grenade?
MaamTheDomeIsAnOptionYouDidNotOrder
.
Calicious
Yes indeed
SergeyPrkl
For me, it is.
BeaverOnFire
Tea cup dog. 🤔
thepicklebucket
Oh maybe that's it. I was thinking kitten, but a grenade is also pretty spicy
Deshalope
I doubt it's a kitten. Mine's tried to eat my eyebrows, and didn't have nearly enough impact to launch them.
