Typically for my otoplasty patients they have a surgical bandage for 3-4 days. Then a hand band is worn for four weeks 23 hours a day. The most common issue with otoplasty is relapse. The head band helps reduce this outcome.
There are ways of adding tissue to your ear, but they are usually used for reconstruction after something like cancer surgery. For purely cosmetic reasons, it would be hard to make them larger and have it look natural. I advise you not to pursue it.
