One area of both ears is stiff and hard after otoplasty 2 years ago, how can I fix this? (Photos)

I got otoplasty about 2 years ago. Since then, i have been pleased with the results apart from on area on both ears just above the earlobe on the edge of the ears. The area is hard and stiff and still sticks out a bit as the stiffness seems to make it protrude unlike the rest of the ears which are relaxed. I don't know whether it is scar tissue or undissolved stitches but it makes it look like my ears stick out still. How can i fix this? Ideally without getting another procedure.
