My doctor over corrected my ears. Can this be fixed? (Photo)

Asked By:gonecrazy in Bronx, NY

I had ptosis and otoplasty surgery just 2 days ago and asked my doctor to slightly position my ears back and to correct the helix fold that I had. I said to not make it look like they are pinned to my head. In the following pictures it looks like I don't even have ears! They bent, uneven, and my earlobs are sticking out (which he says he did not touch during operation) I only wanted my ears straightened. Will this fix over time or is a definite revision necessary? I don't even want to go out.
