Asked By:azsxdc in Connecticut, CT

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.
