Before Otoplasty, heed your surgeon’s advice, possibly regarding medications and surgery prep. Post-surgery, wear the prescribed head dressing for several days, attend a follow-up within 7 to 10 days, and use a snug headband at night for a few weeks.
During Otoplasty, an incision is made on the back of the ear to expose the cartilage. The surgeon reshapes the ear using sutures, and the procedure usually takes slightly over an hour, depending on the extent of the surgery.
