How long to wait for otoplasty revision?

Patients in general should wait 6 months to a year for a revision otoplasty. This allows for the surgical result to mature and to determine if there is a need for additional surgery and how much surgery is required. Hopefully all heals well. see video

Otoplasty Revision: A Timeline

Patients who wish additional improvement to their ears may benefit from an otoplasty revision. In my experience, it is best to wait about 6 months to have this type of surgery. This is because the scar tissue from the first procedure is maturing enough that the second procedure is not a problem. Best wishes.
