I did otoplasty 1.5yrs ago.My doctor did what I asked him to: pinned the ears back but I wanted them to show a little bit,I didn't want people to notice the otoplasty. Strangely,I look in some mirrors and I like how my ears look and in others I don't like them.I don't know why I still have this issue with my ears. Is it worth it to do a revision otoplasty? Will this 'weaken' my ears long term?I do Jujitsu and don't want this to be comprmise training. I attach photos.Please give me your opinion

I would say that you have very little to worry about, especially the fascia grafting site. However, I see you're from Greece, correct? You do have some very small chance of scarring with the otoplasty incision since you are of Mediterranean decent, but this is minimal....
Hello,
If you don't have an appointment with your surgeon this week, get one. This does look like swelling that is normal but there's not usually much bruising. The thing you want to avoid is a fluid collection because this can result in scarring or a lumpiness to the ear....
Thanks for the question. As all aesthetic operations, there is a risk of bleeding and infection in the early period. After the healing process, asymmetry, irregularities and stitching problems seen very rare. I wish you all the best.
