Should I get an otoplasty revision? 3 weeks post-op. (photos)

klo111
Hello, 3 weeks ago, I had an otoplasty (ear pinning) surgery. I am mostly happy with the results, however I feel that my ears still protrude on top a bit. I would like opinions on my results so far. Will my ears flatten closer to my head once more swelling and bruising go down over time? I've attached before and after photos. The photo taken in the car is today, 3 weeks post surgery. The photos taken indoors was me before I had surgery.
