3 months after otoplasty, is this a stitch? (Photo)

This would be simple to change with and incision behind the ear.  If you want to change it.  Talk with a board certified plastic surgeon to make a plan. Thanks for your question

What your neighbour thinks is not important. If you have never thought your ears were too big for your face, then don’t let someone else put that into your head.
