What can I do for Otoplasty revision? (Photo)

Optimistic494160Mar 24, 2023
I had ear pinning surgery a year and a half ago and am not happy with the results on my left ear. The shape of it looks odd to me and the rim looks almost cut- off. I Was wondering what can be done to correct the issue or if it’s as good as it’s going to get.

You did not ask a question, so I cannot leave an answer. Also, you did not post your facial photos, but I suspect you are fine.
