5 days post-otoplasty. Is it possible that my right ear got squished and stuck together? Will it heal? (Photo)

My Doctor told me this is the swelling that is causing the ear to close up like that. My left ear looks beautiful still bruised but great. Will my right ear heal to normal shape or something went wrong in the operation. I still have the stitches in - I'm going on Monday to have them removed - but I'm really worried my ear got deformed. PS: My ears shape where ALWAYS perfect it was just a simple ear pinning surgery as my ear cartilage ball was big so made my ear protrude. Please help.
