From low self confidence to no self confidence

I had an otoplasty at age 11 with Dr Barnett. Unfortunately the results on my right ear left me still unable to wear my hair back due to an something gone wrong with either the surgery or healing leaving my ear looking very unnatural. Basically I was teased at school because of it and this procedure did nothing for my self confidence.  I'm currently researching my options to remedy this. See my photos on my profile...

Botched Otoplasty

I had otoplasty aged 11, which I totally regret. So basically my whole life I have never felt confident tying my hair back. Dr Barnett totally disfigured my right ear. I would have rather kept my protruding ears.
This is the biggest regret of my life and I wonder often whether the cartilage can be reshaped to a less alien-like appearance since.
I'm pretty easy going and forgiving with my expectations but my right ear has caused me so much insecurity over the years I get angry with myself for ever asking my mum to organise it for me as a child.
