Need to know if 2 or 3 months post of a ear pin (just having the tips put back) if I can join the army. Ive already waited very long but I wanted this done. I will just cancel my procedure if it is not recommended.
Answer: 6 weeks is typical Usually, I advise my patients to avoid vigorous physical activities for at least 6 weeks after surgery. However, you should ask your surgeon what their advice is as it may differ.

Answer: Can I join the military 2 or 3 months after otoplasty? In general, there are risks of hematoma or trauma to the ears after ear pinning surgery. Avoid rigorous activity or any activities such as being in large crowds that could impact the ears until completely healed. One should expect about 1 week of bruising and swelling. Your PS may have specific post-operative guidelines that you should follow for maximum recovery.Two or three months after otoplasty you should be ready to become Army Strong!

Answer: Otoplasty recovery Yes, you should be able to join the military but double-check with your surgeon. That said, 2-3 months recovery should be plenty to heal and recover from your otoplasty.Best wishes and thank you for your service!

Answer: Otoplasty surgery recovery We generally recommend no strenuous physical activity for 6-8 weeks following otoplasty surgery, although light activity such as exercises fine after about 2 weeks. It would be best to discuss this with your surgeon carefully because - if the ears are going to be pulled down ( for example, while wearing a helmet in the Army), this may be a contraindication to doing surgery at this time. Best of luck to you.
