Otoplasty slight asymmetry or swelling?

Allex22
I had otoplasty 10 days ago. Doctor used dissolvable stitches and didn't have to remove extra cartilage. Problem is that on the left ear the antihelix and the pinna are much more defined and prominent than the right. Is that because of swelling or it will be like this forever? If it's from swelling how long it will take it to subside totally?Also the doctor said there is gonna be some slight rebound and the ear will slightly move more out. Thank you
