Do I need otoplasty (pictures)?

As you can see, it's not a bad case of otoplasty. I can't say that I hate my ears at this point, but I wonder if I can improve them. I want them to protrude less and be more symmetrical. It's important, since I have bald haircut.

I had one otoplasty in the past, but ears partially returned to their initial position. In my opinion, my ear cartridge is relatively hard, and that could be the reason for them to come back after about 1 year of the first surgery.

In other words, I'm not 100% decided that I want the second surgery, and have two concerns: the ears will not look as I expect after the surgery (maybe they would look even worse than now), and that they may come to its position again.

reviewing your photos, i would say don't do it. i don't think there is a considerable margin for improvement. hope that helps.
best,
