I Have Heard that Otoplasty is Very Painful to Recover From, is this True?

I have heard stories from friends who have had this procedure and read online that an otoplasty is one of the most painful cosmetic procedures, particularly after surgery. I am just wondering whether or not this is true. I find it difficult to believe as i know that many children below the age of 10 get this procedure done.

A: Pain after Otoplasty

Hey Timmy !

Otoplasty surgery if done properly should not have significant pain beyond the regular post operative surgery pain or discomfort. If not done properly and cartilage positioning is inadequate it's possible the persistant pressure on the cartilage may cause pain. One thing to be aware of is significant pain right after the surgery and even more so if one sided due to concern of a hematoma (bleeding)!

 

Good luck

A: Otoplasty is not particularly painful

Hi there-

There is no reason that you should believe that there is something about external ear surgery that makes it particularly painful.

The typical patient takes pain medicine for a day or two.
