Can I take Uber after otoplasty surgery?

Question

I might not have someone to take me home and be with me after my surgery, the Dr said I will be awake the entire time and I was wondering if I will need someone to pick me up and accompany me the entire time.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

That's a question for your surgeon. Some may be okay with your plan. Others may insist on having a family member or friend providing transportation.

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD · Answer

If you have any kind of sedation (valium, ativan, other) by mouth or IV you should have someone with you when you leave. If the surgery is done 100% with only an injectable numbing agent (like lidocaine), then you should be safe to take an Uber home.
