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: How long to wear a headband after otoplasty

There are a lot of different protocols when it comes to aftercare following otoplasty. I would listen to your surgeon as that's who knows your situation best. It's hard to know whether you would have any different result if you were to just wear the headband at night at this point, but why risk affecting your results?

Otoplasty Revision After 1.5yrs, Can It Be Done Under Local Anesthesia? I did otoplasty 1.5yrs ago and I want a minor further pinning back by 0.5cm. Is this easy to be done? Can it be done with local anesthesia?

A: Otoplasty Under Local

Yes – Otoplasty procedures can be done under local if the patient feels comfortable. Are you going to see the same surgeon? If so, you would want to have this discussion with him/her. If not, I would have a few consultations with other surgeons and discuss your concerns and goals.
Best of luck to you!
