I had my otoplasty 4 weeks ago. My left ear is perfect, but the right ear is really starting to scare me. My right ear is still slightly swollen but has a dip in it and looks totally un proportional. Take a look at the pictures I posted and please help me. I haven't been wearing my headband at night bc I'm scared to hold my right ear back and the dip never come forward. I've even went as far as taping my ear (the part that dips) forward at night Thank you all very much
