So five days after my otoplasty school will start from the summer break and i'll have to carry the books that will be given to me back home.I was wondering is it safe to lift around 20 books( could be much less though) or should i avoid carrying them?How much kg is it safe to lift?

Hi. It`s important that you ask your plastic surgeon who operated you so he /she can tell you what to do and what not to do. Usually it`s ok to do exercise after an otoplasty however you should be careful not to hit your ears. Good luck

Sure, you can cut your hair right away. It is only important that you advice your hairdresser that he has to be careful around your ears and don`t pull or move your ears in any way. Hope this was helpful

Hi. Thank you for your question. Usually after 7 days, kids are good to go back to school. Obviously this can vary from case to case and the recovery period should be determined by the surgeon who performed the surgery. Anyway, in my experience it`s this timeframe
