Is this normal for otoplasty healing? How long do I have to wait to have it fixed? (Photo)

That said, there is a bit of relaxation of somebody's otoplasty results, between 2 to 4 mm, during the first year of healing. If there is a significant amount of asymmetry between your right ear and your left ear, you may consider re-asking your question with both ears in the photograph. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

The ear does not appear normal and the conchal bowl is too prominent. You will most likely need a revision. I recommend waiting 6 months before doing any revision.

Best Wishes,

Hello, hope you are well. Thank you for submitting your photos and questions! There are a couple of things that can be addressed with a revision. The upper third of your ear appears to be over-corrected whereas the mid- and lower thirds appear to be under-corrected. (Too close and far from the head, respectively). This is not 'normal', and I would not expect it to change for the better over the next 8 months. I would want to see and feel the ear in person to determine timing for a revision, but very likely you don't need to wait a full year.
Best,Dr. Tower
