Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgery that adjusts and realigns the ears. An otoplasty pins back ears that stick out from the side of the head, reduces abnormally sized ears, or corrects prior trauma to the ears. This surgery can be a life-altering procedure that restores confidence and eliminates feelings of embarrassment. However, because the surgery is performed around the ears, many patients worry about recovery and showering after an otoplasty. After the procedure, the ears will be wrapped in a specialized bandage to promote the most efficient healing during recovery. Keeping the bandages wrapped around the ears is essential until the provider removes them. Taking baths and washing your hair before surgery can help you feel comfortable and clean during recovery. It’s essential to avoid getting the ears or bandages wet during this time. However, the bandages are typically removed within a few days following the procedure. Dr. Alberico Sessa at Sarasota Surgical Arts can help walk you through every step of otoplasty recovery during a consultation. To learn more, call us at 941-923-1736.
