Is the Incisionless Otoplasty Procedure a Total Waste of Time?

mclough77
I am considering having Otoplasty done but want to avoid the recovery times associated with the traditional technique. My ears only protrude at the top (I'd say maybe the top third of the ear) and these are the parts I want set back...I don't really want the 'bowl' part of my ear any closer to my head. I've heard that the incisionless technique is good for this type of Otoplasty - can anyone advise? I'm just a bit concerned of the lack of before/after photos on the internet...
