Had my ears pinned back 2 yrs ago, and I wear a headband to protect my ears every night. Do I still need to wear the headband?

I wish my patients were as compliant and cautious after surgery as you have been!  I agree with my colleagues, after two years, you don't require a headband, and you can return to normal activities.  You express concern that your otoplasty is dependent on a few stitches, but after so much time, the shape is now being maintained by surgical scarring.  Best of luck!

Dear BobstermonsterMany thanks for posting your question - you are now well out of the healing phase so it should be entirely safe to stop wearing your headband. You can also get back to physical activity and even contact sports should you so wishAll the best

Thank you for your question.  At this stage you are well healed and there is no need to wear the head band.  You can also resume all activities as normal.

No, at this point, there is no need for the use of a headband;  your repair is no longer dependent on the stitches etc. Best wishes.

God no is the answer. Even if you were a professional rugby player I would suggest you could go back to normal activity now. The cartilage will have remodelled in its new position and be as resilient to stress as your old ears were. Hope that helps. Adam Goodwin

Congratulations on your ear surgery! At this point, your ears have fully healed, so there’s no need to wear a headband every night to protect them.
But as always, you should listen to your body and report anything that seems unusual or painful to a reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon.
