How do you determine if you need a revision? Have pixie ears, some lateral lines when I tense mouth, and wide scarring (Photo)

Asked By:Versatile393660 in Morton, Illinois

43 yo. Post op 5 months. Not sure what went wrong here - ears are embarrassing, sweeping look when I tense my mouth, hypertrophic scaring behind ears. Is the pixies considered “severe” or mild? How much could the scarring be improved? Does the sweeping look expected to get better with time, or only with a revision? Should I have to pay for a revision with my initial surgeon with these results?
