Cauliflower ear

[mikeironcity6]

Has anyone had successful surgery fixing cauliflower ear?

I had a drain put in the next day, flattened it out pretty good.

Only one solution: cut it off. ...especially for a P-Burgh fan.

Two of my three sons had cauliflower ear, and we've tried several treatments and providers. Most effective was by Dr. Seth Isaacs, and ENT doc here in Cincinnati. He drained the ear and stitched in a temporary bolster on both sides of the ear. This provided pressure to keep the skin connected to the ear tissue, reducing the opportunity for fluid buildup.

I had mine explode and had plastic surgery to fix it. Looks great now, as far as ears go.

My son has had his drained and bolstered twice. He now wears his head gear during warm ups. Doesn't look too bad but you can tell he's a wrestler.

In the good old days, people sometimes got cauliflower ear, but now it seems that a lot of wrestlers at the college and international level, and coaches, have it to a pretty extreme level. I may be wrong but my guess is that some feel like it's a badge of honor or something.

Why would you do that?
