Hi. I need some advice on if I could get surgery on my ear, what would be the risks, after care and how long the healing process would be. Sorry, long post. I have a deformed ear caused by a cartilage piercing infection. The look of the ear has gotten me down as it is noticeable not only to me but others too. It is a drastic difference from my right ear (the normal one) as it is very caved in and smaller in appearance and if I look straight there's definitely an imbalance in symmetry. Help

Thank you for your question. It is advised that you perform no strenuous activity for at least two months while you are healing from surgery. I hope this information helps.
