During the Operation

Ear surgery operation takes about one hour and it is usually performed under local anesthesia unless otherwise required. Depending on what kind of correction to be performed, techniques of otoplasty are variant. The incision made by the surgeon is behind the ears to prevent the appearance of minimal scars. Once the incision is made, excess ear cartilage and skin might be removed as occasion requires. Then, ear cartilage is folded into the proper position and sutured.

After the operation

This is an outpatient operation. After the ear surgery, your ears are covered in bandages for protection and support after the procedure. Our expert will likely prescribe you painkillers and antibiotics. Since sleeping on the sides puts pressure on the ears, try sleeping on your back or front. The bandages will be removed two days after the operation. You will likely get back to your daily routines in several days, and healing will be complete in a few weeks. The changes after the ear surgery will be permanent.
