What can I do to fix torn tragus?

Asked By:mjg713 in New York, NY

About 8 months ago I had a fall and tore my tragus slightly in a straight line from the outside in. I got stitches and it seemed to heal with a bit of a notch in it. What can I do to fix this? I thought about a filler but that would be annoying to have to do every year. Would taping it and applying pressure help it heal correctly or will i have to surgically open this area up again?
