Otoplasty and no bandages?

Hello, dressing are a surgeons preference. I used ointment on the incisions only and a headband 24hours a day for 3 days then at night for 2 weeks. Good Luck.

Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear that you are worried after your surgery.  The dressings after surgery that doctors use are dependent on the type of procedure performed and are designed to minimize any additional risks of trauma to the ear.  Though I normally use bandages and head wraps to avoid the ears being pulled or tugged on, your procedure may not have required it.  Please voice your concerns with your surgeon, they ultimately want you to have an excellent outcome and can provide you with reassurance that all is well. 

Early healing for #earlobeReduction occurs in the first week. I use dissolving sutures. I don’t use any bandages.There are always
asymmetries before and after surgery although I always try to make the two
sides as even as is possible. Scars are
generally well hidden and may have a small amount of redness that can persist for several weeks or months.
These can be treated with scar creams and laser treatments. Re-piercing can be done 3 to 6 weeks after
surgery. Swelling is usually significant in the first several weeks and some
can persist for a few months but this is not as common.
