Ears protruding again after barber pulled on them, will I need another whole otoplasty procedure? (Photos)

August 7, 2023
Asked By:Michael1007 in England, United Kingdom

My ears have been severely under corrected through otoplasty. They were in the perfect position until I got a haircut and the barber pulled on them, and now they protrude again. Will this be able to be fixed through a revision surgery or will I need to go through another whole otoplasty procedure? I would like them pinned in close to my head and not floppy. Thank you in advance
