How Long to Wear Headband After an Otoplasty That Involved Cartilage Excision? I had cartilage excised from both of my ears and had the ears attached with permanent sutures to the head. My surgeon said that I should wear the headband for a month and I've been wearing it 24/7 for 3 weeks, with the exception of a handful of days. Do you think I could switch to night time wear only at this point without affecting the healing or the results?

A: Headband after otoplasty

Good question. Since the most common complication of otoplasty is recurrence of the prominenet ear deformity, I am very strict with my patients about the headband. I remove the dressings postoperative day 1 to check for hematoma, have the patients change the dressings themselves for the first week, and wear a headband for 6 weeks.

I Ripped my Scab off 1 Week After my Ear Otoplasty Surgery is This Gonna Be a Problem? I Ripped my Scab off 1 Week After my Ear Otoplasty Surgery is This Gonna Be a Problem?

A: Scab after otoplasty

As long as the outer layer of the underlying perichondrium is intact and kept moist, you will be ok. The only way it could be a problem is if the underlying cartilage dries out.
