It's now 2 months that I had a otoplasty. Have my ears been undercorrected? Because they still stick out or is it just the swelling (photo)? My surgeon told me before the operation that he can't do anything about the position of my earlobe. Now I feel that my earlobes are sticking out because he didn't set them back aswel. I want my earlobes also setback is that possible with a second otoplasty?(I want my ears much closer to my head.)

Answer: Prominent earlobes can be set back closer to the skull in otoplasty or revision otoplasty
One month after an otoplasty is still pretty early on and you can expect the incision to look better with time. However, make sure to follow up with your surgeon and discuss your concerns.
I would recommend getting in contact with your primary care physician so they can run some tests to see what the headaches might be caused by. It is hard to connect the headaches and neck tiredness directly with the surgery that you had, but if a nerve was hit, that could be the answer.
