Did my ENT doctor screwed my ear? (cauliflower ear)

I got my first cauliflower after training for 6 months and it does not look bad at all. I was considering to drain it myself with a syringe. Since I am a customer facing representative, I decided to pay the co-pay and see a specialist to "save" my ear. Instead of the usual syringe draining, the specialist made an incision to drain it.

Five days later, the fluid refilled and I had to drain it again. This time, I think he made it worse as he opened the incision and drain it again. The incision is now no longer small.

Now my ear swole up and I basically hate the doctor for making that incision. I personally feel that he has no experience specific to this. Anyway, based on the cut, how soon can I go back to training? It has been more than a week since I last trained.

The incision is fine, mine uses a round punch. The key is you need to keep pressure on it after it drains or fluid will refill the space. There are several things that sometimes.es work, but sewing the ear always works. My doc puts cotton rolls Iike the dentist puts in your mouth on the front and back of my ear and sews through both rolls and my ear to keep pressure. They come off after about 10 days. You will be more like to get cauli in that spot for some time (6 mos) while it heals and slightly more likely forever. Wear headgear for that time period.
 
Cant believe they lanced that sht - that was barely noticeable
