About 10 days ago I had otoplasty abroad. Once the surgeon finished the operation, I looked at my ears and I was happy with what i saw. I had bandage around my ears for 8 days and since then ive been wearing a headband. This was what I was told to do. I got my stiches taken out on day 10 however there's still some left as some weren't ready to be taken out. It's been nearly 2 weeks since my otoplasty and my ears have basically gone back to how they was. Will my ears change with time?
