Yes. The bullet cut a small semicircular section from Trump's ear, which is plainly visible in certain photos at the event as he is being walked off stage. This semicircular lesion was confirmed by Trump's doctors.
Here is a step-by-step guide for converting 2 centimeters to inches: To convert centimeters to inches, multiply the distance in centimeters by the conversion factor of 0.393701. 2 centimeters x 0.393701 = 0.787402 inches.
In his first letter he stated that the wound was 2 cm long, slightly less than an inch, and that there was granular tissue forming. Granular tissue is typical formed during the healing process when there is missing tissue. I read it as the an area approximately 1 inch long of the top of the ear was lost due to the bullet strike. It should mostly fill in but will leave a scar.
The doctor described the damage as that consistent with a graze, where the bullet essentially never penetrated into the cartilage of the ear, below the skin.
It basically burned the top layer if skin off (according to the dr's first letter), leaving a trace mark about 1.5" long.
So did part of his ear get blown off?

Probably this reply was intended for someone else :)
Here are a couple good images showing his ear from that day.

No. Zero parts got "blown off"
The ear is entirely intact.
