When will the numbness in my ear go away?

emilymatheny
I just received my otoplasty on my left ear 2 days ago. I got the dressing off today and my ear is extremely numb and has absolutely no feeling to it. When I go to rub my ointment on it, I cannot feel anything. I was just wondering, when will the numbness go away and when will I have normal feeling again?
