Otoplasty; will this shape correct itself? (Photos)

February 8, 2017
Asked By:Kgp90 in London, GB

I had my bandages removed yesterday after a week , following otoplasty , I really don't like what I see and am concerned I'll be stuck with this telephone effect ?! surely my ears didn't look like this when the surgeon bandaged them ? I know it's early days but how likely is this to resolve itself when swelling subsides ?
