I had an otoplast 3 weeks ago and I am worried about the appearances of both my ears. Could it be infected already? (photo)
Pedram Imani, MBBS(Hons), MS(Hons), FRACS(ORLHNS) says:

In the first instance I would recommend seeing your surgeon.  This is called skin necrosis and is caused by excess pressure or tension on the cartilage.  Your self treatment is right, it will eventually heal but you have to make sure that you do not get an infection of the exposed cartilage.  ...

Your ears should look pretty normal a week after surgery. If the rim doesn't improve, it is possible to correct, but would wait about 3 months to from surgery to give your ears every chance to improve withut additional surgery.
