Can I have an otoplasty revision after 4 months?

I typically wait at least 8-12 months before definitively evaluating an otoplasty result.  At that time, a revision can be undertaken.  Make sure the surgeon performing the revision has extensive experience with this type of procedure because it is technically more challenging.Best of luck! 

The final result of an otoplasty can’t usually be assessed till at least 6 months after an operation. After this time, there would be nothing against placing yet another stitch in the upper part of the ear to bring it closer to the head if this were to be necessary. A minor procedure would be an operation with the minimally invasive stitch method, by which the ear is no longer cut open, the cartilage must no longer be worked on, and the recovery is very fast. It is not necessary to wear bulky head dressings with this method.

Each surgeon has different protocols regarding when to have a revision. Your surgeon will be in the best position to guide you as he or she understands the scope of the surgery and the specifics about you.
