Not enough laxity in face to shorten or round ears 2 years post revision - is it true? (Photos)

Cami025
had a revision 2 yrs ago to fix pixie ears, etc; though technically “fixed”, lobes are very overstretched, look stuck on, are too far down on face and jut forward; right ear worse than left of which had less tissue. They do NOT fit my face shape. Spoke to PS after 2yrs, who said it's impossible to round or shorten lobes with no laxity on my face. He thinks any fix would only pull more. Still suffer w/ puffy, raised skin under ears 2 yrs later. Is there really no fix? Will more time help?
