Frequently Asked Questions About Otoplasty
Otoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s age and the complexity of the surgery. The surgeon makes small incisions behind the ear, then reshapes the cartilage and skin to achieve the desired look. Sutures are used to secure the new shape, and the incisions are typically well-hidden behind the ears.
Otoplasty typically takes 1 to 2 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
Recovery time can vary, but most patients can return to work or school in about 1 to 2 weeks. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common but generally subside within a few weeks. It is important to avoid direct pressure on the ears during the healing process, especially while sleeping.
Scarring from otoplasty is usually minimal, as the incisions are made behind the ears, where they are hidden from view. Over time, any remaining scars typically fade and become less noticeable.
