Customized Ear Surgery Approach

Procedure Details
Ear surgeries typically involve strategic incisions behind or within ear folds. Cartilage is carefully repositioned or sculpted, with permanent sutures used to secure the new ear structure. Procedures generally last between one to two hours, depending on the specific requirements.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients experience minimal discomfort following ear surgery. Typical recovery includes wearing a protective headband at night for approximately four weeks. Patients can usually return to normal activities within several days, with full healing occurring over subsequent weeks.
