I feel sick I didn't ask more questions like exactly how far back and why am I not wearing bandages?? Every site I've been to there are tons of logical reasons why you wear bandages my surgeon says it's fine you don't need them, so far they are occasionally painful it's been 5 days and his office told me it's fine to wash etc I don't feel right about this, please advise

Answer: Aftercare post Otoplasty Many thanks for submitting your question.The need for bandages post Otoplasty is variable and will depend on the surgeons preference and the extent of surgery performed.I usually recommend that my patients shower and wash their hair as normal and wear a head bandage at night for 2- 4 weeks post surgery. You can purchase just a normal head band and wear this at night will avoid your ears being pulled in your sleep.I hope this helps.

Answer: Otoplasty and no bandages? If you were operated on with the stitch method, you don’t require a bandage. If you we were operated on with a traditional method, your surgeon must decide how long you must wear a bandage.
