Will results correct themselves or will I need more surgery to smooth out the uneven join caused by my earlobe reduction?(photo)

Asked By:iloveaus in Melbourne, AU

5 weeks ago I had an earlobe reduction. I am happy with the overall shape of them but I am quite unhappy with the fact that the sections that were cut and sewn together do not line up properly. I feel this makes it obvious that I have had surgery and I am more conscious of this now than I was on my very large earlobes. Will I need more surgery or is it too soon to say?
