Am I being unreasonable and did I expect too much from otoplasty result? (Photos)

Asked By:gracie80

I had an otoplasty 3 months ago and am disappointed with the result. I didn’t want my ears flat to my head but just feel like my ears still stick out at the top and aren’t massively different to before. I’d like an objective opinion really, am I being unreasonable and did I expect too much? In hindsight I would’ve asked he surgeon what approximate distance my ears would be from my head after the surgery. Perhaps if I had I could’ve managed my expectations.
