My doctor said that i will wear a bandage around my head for 3 days and later an elastic band only at night for 1 month.I was wondering is 3 days a small amount of time?should i wear the bandages longer?Also i will perform otoplasty only on one of my ears as the other one is normal.Does performing an otoplasty in both of the ears give a better resault?If so should i do one in my case?

Answer: otoplasty candidate An otoplasty can be performed on 1 ear, or both ears depending upon the anatomy. If only one ear sticks out, than only one ear surgery is performed. In our practice, we ask patients to wear a headband at night sleeping for the first 2 weeks after the procedure, however is unnecessary to wear anything during the daytime. Otoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia. For more information and many examples, please see the link below

Answer: Bandages after an otoplasty Every surgeon has his or her own routine when it comes down to after surgery care. Specifically, it is not out of the norm to have your surgeon take the dressing down at day three and then wear a headband to protect the correction for 4-6 weeks after the surgery. If the opposite ear is not in need of modification, then surgery on the affected ear to match the opposite ear is good strategy.
