Deformed ear after septorhinoplasty - how can this be repaired? (Photos)

Hi, I had a septorhinoplasty 6 months ago. The surgeon used cartilage from my ear for my nose. After a week, I noticed there was a hematoma, and part of my ear was filled with blood. Rather than draining it for me, the surgeon told me it’s normal and to just massage it away. Six months later, my ear is now deformed. I also think he took way too much cartilage from the ear because it is much flatter, and the inner part has collapsed. What are my options? Is this a common occurrence? I contacted a few ear surgeons, and they said this is very hard to correct and restore the ear’s original shape. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
