With this surgical procedure, the shape and position of the ears are improved, either by weakening the cartilage or by means of sutures that correct the placement of the structures and produce a harmonious and natural ear. Sometimes the torn lobe is repaired, its size is reduced or it is given a more aesthetic shape.
Recovery time
The otoplasty scar is located behind the ear. A bandage has to be worn for three days, followed by a protective band that must remain day and night for about fifteen days.
You may notice temporary pain during the first two days, which in this case will be relieved with painkillers.
