I'm 7 weeks post op on my Otoplasty and I got a haircut. My hairdresser pushed out my ears a little bit. Are they okay?

Question

She put a couple of her fingers behind my ear and kind of pushed it out. I'm just wondering if it will affect my final results.

Without examining you it's difficult to be sure but unless you heard or felt a pop then I'm sure everything is fine. At this point to have a little pressure on the posterior of the ear is probably safe. If you are concerned then you should book an appointment with your surgeon to be reexamined. Hope that helps!

It is difficult to tell if you might have had any effect from your hairdresser pushing out your ears a bit, 7 weeks after your otoplasty procedure, without examining you.  If your ears appear the same as they did before she pushed them a bit, then most likely, there should be no problem.  If you feel your ears appear different, you should contact your surgeon to be evaluated in person.
