Failed otoplasty? Should I consider a revision with the same surgeon? (Photos)

Asked By:Stephenmurdock99 in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

Hi, I’ve recently had an otoplasty but I don’t think it’s been a success. Is this considered to be pinned back, not sure I can tell much of a difference between my before and after photos. Should I consider a revision with the same surgeon? My ears look so much better in the morning when I take my headband off but seem to protrude within an hour or so.
