Can I Still Kickbox After Otoplasty?

Shreveport7685
My ears stick out and I am consedring having otoplasty. I wanted to know if I could still kickbox ,and have otoplasty. I saw this question about boxing and otoplasty. Some doctors say yes ,and some say no. What are the chances of something going wrong? Will protective headgear protect the ear from being harmed? If I wait longer than the six weeks of healing time will it be safer to continue kickboxing?
