How can I optimize overcorrection on an ear pinning surgery? - currently 2 weeks post op

duton
Hi, I had an ear pinning surgery 2 weeks ago. There was a slight overcorrection and I was told it would recoil after removal of stitches. It has barely recoiled. I read on here that there is a 2-3 mm recoil within a year and some suggested strategically massaging or pulling the ears. Can someone explain the details - how to massage? or when to start pulling and for how long etc.?
