I had an otoplasty almost 3 months ago in which cartilage was removed and permenant sutures were used. I went to see my doctor last week regarding my protruding earlobes as he did not pin them back the procedure, but he insisted that they looked fine and was hesitant to work on them and told me to wait another 3 months then I could have them done. He said it's a simple procedure but my ears won't look normal if I do it and said something about excess skin that will be visible. Is that true?
