When your ear starts to hurt, the fluid is already building up. And most of the time it's not worth dealing with. I don't think making an impression every time my ear starts to get red and hot is realistic. (But then again, I am lazy!)
I personally don't care about the esthetics of cauliflower ear anymore, but I do drain the hematomas to relieve the pressure when I get a big one and it makes it hard to train. I had one last month that was huge and wouldn't stay down, I ended up having to get stitches in my ear.
Badge of honor in my opinion....those ears tell a long, beautiful story.
Let it grow
I read over the website and I think the idea is that you make one impression of your healthy ears, then you reuse that impression whenever it's needed in the future (before the fluid begins to build up).Quote:

Does that inhibit your ability to hear? Or to use earbuds? Those are my two fears about cauliflower ear.Quote:

I think he just liked poking me every night...GIGITTY.
Eddie when you were here we were talking about a kit like this that is why I posted.
This may work better than the clips you were using.
Last time I had it, the doctor cut a small slit in my ear and inserted a drainage tube. I had to keep the area packed with cotton to absorb the constant drainage & wear headgear for a couple weeks.
Sorry, my wife isn't down with cauliflower ear. This product is worth a try for me.
What can I say, I'm a humble enough guy that I don't need to wear my jiu jitsu when I'm walking around as a civilian. ;)
lol, that took me by surprise. That's legit lady.Quote:

You know a chick is serious about Jiu Jitsu when she carries a mouthguard in her purse... just in case. :)Quote:
