Not a doctor. However, I would not expect a bullet to simply tear tissue/cartilage, leaving a wound that can be stitched together. When the bandage comes off, I would expect a missing chunk (of unknown size; could be just a few millimeters, or could be the size of a dime).

Bullets routinely -for example- take clothing into the wound they create on the victim. So not only do doctors have to remove the bullet, they have to remove bits of fabric transferred by the bullet. In this case, I would think part of the ear was "transferred" by the bullet to wherever the bullet landed.
