Too Tight First Bandage: Problem with the Anthelix? (photo)

From the photo your ear appears to be bruised and swollen as expected at this early point in you recovery.  I cannot rule out a collection of blood below the skin without examining the ear but from the photo that appears unlikely.  The ear skin is delicate and bruises easily.  It is not likely that the bandages caused a problem but have your operating surgeon check it out.  It will take 3-4 weeks for the bruising to clear and 3-6 months for the swelling to resolve.  As the swelling resolves, you will likely notice a softening in the antihelical fold depending upon how the fold was modified at surgery.

are quite rare.  Your photo shows a bruised ear and if it hasn't turned black by now, you are fine.  The blood supply to the head is quite robust so its very difficult to have blood supply issues.  If the skin is cold and black, you should see your surgeon.
