After ear correction, how long do I need to wait before I start lifting weights? (photo)

We routinely ask our patients to avoid strenuous physical activity, such as lifting weights, for at least three weeks after surgery. We also ask patients to avoid contact soprts, such as wrestling or football, for a total of six weeks after surgery. It is important to check with your doctor and see what he or she specifically recommends.

It is important to take the
necessary precautions following surgery to allow the body ample time to heal in
order to obtain the best results possible. We instruct patients to wait one month after
having surgery before starting to lift weights.

That depends on what method was used to pin your ears. If your otoplasty was performed with the stitch method, you can already lift weights on the following day.

Thank you for your question. You should wait at least one month after the surgery before lifting weights. The initial healing will be completed. It is better to safe than sorry.
