Hello. It's been 7 days since I have had my ears pinned back - and I'm quite happy with the results so far. My question is - is it ok to wash my whole head, and will it not affect the dissolvable stitches?

Thank you for your question. You had an otoplasty two months ago, and you feel like your ears are still sticking out too much. You feel your earlobes were not set back properly and are still prominent, but your doctor said that nothing can be done about the earlobes. You’re wondering if it’s jus...
One month after an otoplasty is still pretty early on and you can expect the incision to look better with time. However, make sure to follow up with your surgeon and discuss your concerns.
I would recommend getting in contact with your primary care physician so they can run some tests to see what the headaches might be caused by. It is hard to connect the headaches and neck tiredness directly with the surgery that you had, but if a nerve was hit, that could be the answer.
