Haircut after otoplasty
Just advise your hairdresser to be careful. They are very sensitive to patients who have undergone cosmetic surgery and, as they say, only your hairdresser knows for sure!

When is it Okay to fold ear after otoplasty
You should always be gentle with folding of the ears after otoplasty but generally speaking, they should be soft and supple by 3-6 months after surgery.
