I think both of my ears were developing a telephone ear deformity after otoplasty. Any thoughts on how it looks? (Photo)

Question

Okay, so I got my otoplasty back in February about 6 months ago and noticed both of my ears were developing a deformity of telephone ear, (One much more than the other.) I was told the effects would go away after the swelling went down and my ear bent into in final shape and I'm going to assume after 6 months it is. Any thoughts on how it looks? I also think one ear appears to be much longer than the other which may just be natural.

Thank you for your pictures.  I agree with your assessment.  I would be interested if you posted your before pictures to see if you have any size discrepancies prior as well as any evidence of telephone ear prior.

Your ears do not appear unnatural or deformed. It may be helpful to visualize your before and after photos so you could see your improvement. If there is no improvement, feel free to re ask your question with before and after photos of your ears.Hope this helps you.Dr. Joseph

Very difficult to judge your result from the photographs that you have submitted.  If you do have a telephone type deformity it does not appear bad.  There may be a little flare of the upper portion of the ear.
