Made my beautiful ear to ugly - l Iost all confidence

Your staff forced me to pay surgery fee over phone even before the first visit for consultation.i never told hime to shorten my ear...i just wanted minor correction which would have made without removal of cartilage..but cartilage removed badly and conchal bowl was totally removed despite i told them mine is not a defect by birth..ruthlessly he removed cartilage and twisted the position of ear to front.and edges looks jagged now not smooth anymore.and now i can't wear eye glass also as one year looks upside and another in different position..he was saying so cool,that he removed 2 cm of cartliage..in one ear..and also saying yours was complex.why the hell can you say that before surgery..if u are not confident why u proceeded with surgery and ruined my entire career and put me in depression..my wedding got cancelled and since the surgery in 2018 ,i gone through lot of trauma..lost all confidence on myself because of the mess you created

No offense but if you’re suicidal over your earlobe having a tiny scar like that you need therapy not surgery. You need to fix the inside, not blame it on the outside.
it is not ear lobe..it was otoplasty...now ear looks like triangular shape..with jaggy edges after surgery..even my friends started trolling me..position of ear is wrong now..totally shape of ear doesnt suit my face after surgery.it has been more than 4 years still i am suffering from depression due to this.
