Am I a good candidate for otoplasty ? Also, worried about looking very different post-op.

I am considering getting an otoplasty but am worried about looking very different from the surgery. would i be able to get this surgery without anyone noticing ? I have been told by several doctors that my ears have deep conchal bowls and lack of an anti-helix. One doctor recommended dissolvable sutures and another recommended permanent. Thoughts ??
