    This gentleman is a 14 year-old whose grandmother had otoplasty by Dr. Tholen, and who now wishes his own ears to be more symmetrical and closer to his head. He underwent otoplasty as an outpatient procedure under a light general anesthetic. His bandage was removed on day 2, his sutures on day 10, and other than avoiding sports or strenuous activities for 3 weeks, he wore a sweatband at night for 4 weeks (nothing during the day). After photos are 4 months post-op.
