Otoplasty to unfold the anti helix after otoplasty

This can be done. This situation is more complicated than the original procedure. It will take releasing of the sutures and scar tissue that is currently holding the anti helix in the current position that was done from the original procedure. I would go to someone that is experienced in revision otoplasty. see video

Dear patient, yes it is possible to have this particular surgery done. It would require sculpting of the cartilage. You would need to consult your physician first.
