Ear reduction surgery. The helix looks very unnatural. Do I need a revision? (Photo)

July 21, 2020
Asked By:Mitchelll in Statesboro, GA

I would like an independent review. This is almost 2 weeks post-op. The helix looks double and not well connected. It also looks like it's slightly "open" in the rear. I also have concerns about how the scars will look, especially at the helix. Will it look normal when it's healed or do I need revision surgery? And how soon should a revision surgery be done?
