Can you ever do wrestling or boxing if you have done otoplasty?

April 10, 2024
Asked By:Courageous726423 in Saskatchewan, Canada

Is it ever possible to do wrestling or boxing if you have done otoplasty? I know that after a year or so the ears will completely heal when that happens is it possible to wrestle or box. Or after 5 years for example is possible to wrestle or box.
