Hi.I had otoplasty on my left ear one month ago.I was wearing a headband every night for one month and as much as possible during the day.As i said i was instructed to wear the headband for a month and now that i removed it i got this weird,numb,uncomfortable feeling on my ear.It feels tight.Could this be because the ear is relaxing and moving forward after the surgery?
