Had ear surgery for almost 2 years ago and still think my ears look asymmetrical and weird. One of the ears also have a pointy antihelical fold which a think look extremely ugly and unnatural. Should it look and feel like this or can ut be reversible. I just think that I made a terrible mistake and would never done this if I knew the outcome :( And yes I may have BDD so this surgery did not help to be honest.

You may want to go back to your surgeon to discuss this issue. The excess skin, particularly in the first photo, would most likely need to be removed with surgery. The second photo shows more swelling, which may improve on its own with recovery.
I charge $3,500 for an otoplasty and the procedure is done in the office under local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia. It can be done under general anesthesia but it would cost more.

Each surgeon determines their own pricing, therefore it would be difficult to give you an average. Typically, however, the cost is based on the area targeted. So, for example, you would be looking at earlobe surgery.
