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

Reesealterman7103
I had otoplasty four months ago, and this is how my ear is healing. It doesn’t match my other ear, and looks strange. My surgeon said that it could take up to a year to see the final results of the surgery. But is this normal? And if not, how long do I have to wait to have it fixed?
