What Will My Life Be Like After Otoplasty?
Following otoplasty procedure, children may return to school after one week and adults may return to work after five days. Immediately following surgery, the head will be wrapped in a bandage to promote healing and maintain the new form of the ears. After one week, any stitches used may be removed. After a few days, the original head wrapping may be replaced by a light dressing.
As with other surgeries, the patient should be aware of some possible side effects, including a blood clot in the ear, which can dissolve or be extracted, an infection in the cartilage or the formation of scar tissue.
