11 months post op - What can be done to minimize redness behind my ears? (photos)

Looks like you have some scarring, especially on the left side. If that area is raised and firm, I'd recommend a steroid injection. It's not unusual for scars to be pink for up to a year. Hopefully the color will improve in the near future. If not, lasers can definitely help. We usually use broad band light to help reduce the pink if it's still present after a year.

Did you have difficulty healing these areas after surgery? This area can be prone to scar hypertrophy and possible scar hyperpigmentation.
The outcome is dependent on how the procedure is done and how each individual person heals.
If there is clear evidence of scar hypertrophy. Then sometimes silicone sheeting, son, avoidance, and potentially very dilute. Steroid injections may be helpful.
I suggest you follow up with your provider or schedule an in person second opinion consultation with other plastic surgeons in your community.
Understanding how you healed after the procedure and what this look like a few weeks after surgery could potentially be helpful and understanding why your scars are so visible.
Did you have any skin loss or skin necrosis after surgery?
Best,
