Can my French Bulldog's ears stand up after ear hematoma surgery?

Question

I recently adopted a french bulldog that was breeding stock at a puppy mill. The rescue group that I got her from had all necessary treatments for adoption. However, she had ear hematomas and her ears do not stand up due to the surgery. Is there a procedure or something that can be done to help her ears stand up again. Shes a sweet dog and this was and is not a deal breaker but I would love to have them fixed. Any info would be helpful. Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | neutered | 18 lbs

They will likely not stand up again as the ear hematomas usually heal with a degree of crippling of the ears. Even tho she had surgery, there may not be enough strength or ability there to keep the ears upright. At the end of the day it is a matter of cosmetics, ie we humans think it is pretty when they are upright, but the dog could care less and it may be more humane to just leave the ears alone now.
