Most people are born with ears that stick out and are not symmetrical. In fact, everyone has a lower and a higher ear and one that sticks out further than the other.
Although everyone has a degree of imperfection in their ears, I only recommend surgery when prominence and asymmetry are generally noticeable. Plastic surgery is an excellent choice for those that want to adjust the positioning of their ears. Fortunately, this is a simple and very successful surgery.
Please enjoy the video below if you are curious about what is possible with plastic surgery. The before and after pictures in this video will help you see what is possible for you. I also answer the most common questions ear surgery patients have during pre-surgery consultations.
Questions & Answers about Ear Surgery
When Can I Go Back to Work & Socializing?
Question: How many days after surgery do I have to wait before I can return to work and socializing?
Answer: Patients return to work between 2-10 days after Ear Surgery. The range depends on the patients desire for confidentiality, comfort, and the nature of the patients work.
How Soon Can I Exercise?
Question: How many days after surgery do I have to wait before I can exercise?
Answer: Patients generally can start exercising again 10 days after Ear Surgery.
When Will All My Bruising Gone?
Question: How many days after surgery do I have to wait before all of my bruising is gone?
Answer: Bruising generally disappears between 10-14 days after Ear Surgery. Longer hair, makeup, and clothing are all good ways to hide post surgery bruising.
When Will I Start Looking Great?
Question: When will I be ready for family pictures or a close-up photo?
Answer: Patients can plan on taking pictures and returning to full function after 4-6 weeks following Ear Surgery.
When Will I Be Fully Healed?
Question: When will I be 100% healed?
Answer: As a general rule, cosmetic surgery requires 6-12 months before all healing is complete. Most patients feel and look 100% after 6 weeks. The body takes care of the rest without us ever knowing.
