My otoplasty is asymmetric

[teno]

I had an otoplasty, and unfortunately the result is far from what I expected. My right ear still sticks out noticeably more than my left, leaving me with an obvious asymmetry. I had a follow-up appointment today, and even the surgeon acknowledged that the ears are not symmetrical. What makes this even more frustrating is that otoplasty is generally considered a relatively straightforward procedure, yet I now have to deal with a result that doesn't look right. The most brutal part is that I have to wait another three months for the final healing process before I can undergo revision surgery. Knowing that I'll have to live with this outcome for months before anything can be done about it is really upsetting.

Fuck I need that

if the surgeon does a good job it will make a big difference
I paid 3k for a shit result and i probably have to pay 3k again for revision surgery...

I can see it, but it doesnt look that bad. Huge ascension anyway imo. Now you can cover or partially cover your ears with your sides too.

thanks for the kind words, yes I will grow out my hair until it at least covers the tops of my ears, and I will keep it that way until Im able to have the revision surgery.
