Patients who undergo otoplasty areoften eager to resume their work out routines as soon as possible aftersurgery. In most cases, patientsare advised to avoid strenuous activities for 3 to 4weeks following surgery. Contactsports should be avoided for 6 to 8 weeks following surgery. Ifyou’re an athlete who’s considering otoplasty, it’s important to discuss thisissue with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to give you specific information about whenit’s safe to resume strenuous activity.
An Otoplasty is a very delicate procedure and should be handled with care and patience. Depending on how you feel, you should start out with nonstrenuous exercise after 10 days. Wait for strenuous activities for at least two weeks. Also don't do anything that could cause significant contact to your ears for 2 months. When doing pilates after two weeks, make sure you are not causing additional swelling or pain, and then it will be OK to advance your workouts. Be sure to check in with your plastic surgeon before progressing with your workout regimen.
I would suggest 20% at 2 weeks and this would be the time period that I would start. Then it will be 60% of your effort at 6 weeks, and 90% at 6 months. Most people say start slowly at 2 weeks and work up gradually.
