It is a good idea, especially when sleeping to help protect the ears from being bent or otherwise traumatized. Different surgeons advise differing amounts of time but it seems most would recommend at least 2-4 weeks.
Generally, patients wear a headband for a week or two after undergoing an otoplasty surgery. These headbands protect the ears and prevent them from being pulled in the wrong direction. To ensure successful results from your otoplasty, I would highly recommend wearing a headband in the first couple of weeks after surgery.
Head band for 1-2 weeks is fairly standard after ear pinning or otoplasty. Some patients are only able to sleep with it after the first week due to work. Good Luck!
I generally like patients to wear a headband for about 4 weeks after an otoplasty to try to prevent the ears from being pulled forward. It is my hope that this reduces the potential for recurrence of the deformity.
Headbands after otoplasty are used to protect the ear from inadvertent bending in the wrong direction as well as preventing excessive stress on the cartilage-reshaping sutures. The utility of a headband probably is limited after a month from surgery. It certainly doesn't hurt, though.

Allowing enough time for recovery is an important determinant of the final outcome following surgery. Give yourself at least 10 to 14 days before exercising and before applying undue pressure to the surgical site.
During otoplasty procedures, the ears are almost always overcorrected somewhat to compensate for the tendency for the ears to move back out subtly over several months following the surgery. Two weeks is probably too early to assess the final result. Give it time!Good luck!
Before undergoing surgery, each person should decide whether a particular feature of their face or body bothers them enough to do something about it. The decision to undergo surgery should not be taken lightly. Nevertheless, when properly executed, plastic surgery can be an important adjunct i...
Your ear pinning also called otoplasty is healed.The ear cartilage piercing should not affect itI do not advice these piercings however because they can damage the cartilage which provides the shape and support of the outer ear. Best wishes.
