I had otoplasty 13 days ago and I am not happy.My ears are way too close to my head like there is no space between my head and my ears.I told her that but i feel like she didnt listen.She says that when the stitches dissolve my ears going to stick out for half cm but still Im not happy with that either.Also, inside of one of my ear is looking weird and ugly. Should I undergo another surgery to fix the weird ear or just get a revision surgery for both of my ears?Also, will my ears stick out after a while?
