Safe to Play Contact Sports After Otoplasty?

Activity and sports are restricted afer surgery to allow uninterrupted healing in the ears' new positions which are maintained entirely by stitches. AS the healing proceeds, typically for about 6 weeks, activity can be increased and return to normal.

Thanks for the question. After 6 weeks your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can do boxing and also do other activities. I wish you all the best.

It’s not unusual for younger
patients who undergo otoplasty to participate in sports.  These patients are usually eager to
return to athletics as soon as possible following otoplasty.  In most cases patients are advised to
avoid contact sports for 6-8 weeks and non-contact sports
for 2 to 3 weeks following otoplasty.

                  Boxing,
kick boxing and wrestling represent special situations since the ears can
suffer significant trauma with these sports.  For this reason, these sports should not be resumed for 3 to
4 months following surgery and head gear should be worn whenever possible.

                  If
you’re an athlete who’s considering otoplasty, it’s important to discuss this
issue with your plastic surgeon. 
Your surgeon should be able to give you specific information about when
it’s safe to participate in sports.
