When will the blues be gone and did everything go fine with my otoplasty? When will it look normal? (Photos)

Asked By:Hope098765 in London, GB

It's been 3 days after otoplasty and my ears are swollen, hurtful, blue and red. The headband I am supposed to wear only when I am at home is really tight and gives an uncomfortable pressure. Should I wear it more often anyway? I have the feeling it's not healing. It's not bleeding though. Can I cool the ears or do something with the blues? Did something go wrong as usually people don't have that kind of swollen, red blue ears after otoplasty?
