The length of this procedure depends on the specifics of your surgery. The simplest otoplasties can be done under local anesthetic and take as little as 30 minutes. More complicated procedures require a general anesthetic and can take as long as 2.5 hours. We will discuss every aspect of your surgery during your initial consultation. The results of this surgery are long-lasting.
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, and light activities can begin the next day. Within one to two weeks, day-to-day activities can commence regularly. After the removal of your initial head dressing, you will be provided with a compression headband, which should be worn night and day for two weeks and then at nighttime only for another four weeks. Its main function is to reduce bruising and swelling and to protect the ear from being pulled forward. The appearance of the ears improves gradually for six weeks following your surgery. Skincare and sun protection is especially imperative during the recovery period.
