https://plasticsurgerykey.com/ear-reconstruction-4/The ear is a complex structure whose lateral surface provides minimal loose tissue for side-to-side or flap repair. The skin on this side is bound down to a convoluted cartilaginous structure with convex and concave surfaces. As such, repair on the lateral surface is usually limited to second intention healing, skin graft, or a flap from the medial pinna or other nearby cosmetic unit (i.e., preauricular cheek or postauricular scalp). The skin on the medial surface of the ear is a little looser and may provide adequate tissue for side-to-side or flap repair of small- to medium-sized defects, although flap repair frequently recruits tissue from the postauricular sulcus area. The helical rim provides the characteristic shape to the pinna, and reconstruction is most successful if the shape, size, and appearance of this contiguous structure is maintained. Fortunately, for many defects on the helical rim, the inferior helical rim and lobule provide an adequate reservoir of loose tissue from which to fashion a local flap repair.

He won't want to appear in public with a mangled ear; he also won't want to be seen with a bandage on it, since either thing is a sign of imperfection and damage. He will have to figure out a way to milk the injury for financial and political gain without letting the public actually see it, especially if it's all shredded and ugly.

He hates any imperfection.
But raising money is what he lives for.
So he might wear a bandage for that.

(9,463 posts)I expect a bandage of some kind,, it will be his "war wound, that he took for you!" (Barf emoji here) I can hear him now.. He is a grifter, and he'll milk this for all it's worth.
