How long after otoplasty can I wash my hair?

I recommend to my patients waiting 3 weeks before they return to any strenuous activity including exercise. Exertion before this time may result in more swelling and bruising and a longer recovery. After three weeks it is fine to return to the gym and lifting weights.

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

Hi. Thank you for your question. There is no inconvenience to use headphones. They just shouldn`t be too big so that they put too much pressure on your ears. It would be better to use smaller ones in the beginning, those which are placed in the auditory canal. Hope this was helpful.

Hi. Thank you for your question. Usually the numbness can take between 2 and 4 months. Up to now, all my patients had their sensibility back after a couple of months. I hope this was helpful.
