Is it safe to use headphones?

Question

I had an otoplasty 6 months ago. I was wondering is it safe to use headphones (the ones that cover your ear)?

Stephen T. Greenberg, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi there and thanks for your question.  At 6 months post op, you should be healed enough to wear headphones.  All of the sutures should be dissolved and your incision should be fulled healed. I suggest following up with your plastic surgeon for his/her post op protocol.  Best of luck!

This depends on the extent of your surgery and how your recovery went. Typically, it would be fine to start wearing headphones 6 months after surgery, however you should ask your surgeon for their opinion.

Hi Golito7,It is definitely safe to use headphones, the buds or the ones that covers your ears, at 6months post otoplasty.
