How long will it take (if ever) for this lump of extra skin in the conchal bowl to flatten post otoplasty?

Jem1
Cartilage had to be excised on the revision because of failure of the first procedure (one ear popped back out). Very pleased with the revision except for the conchal bowl "lump". Surgeon already looked at it and confirmed no hematoma or infection. Just excess skin.Is there anything like cautery or other technique to make the lump flatten quickly?.
