Understanding Otoplasty: 3 Weeks into Recovery
Otoplasty, sometimes referred to as ear pinning surgery, is a procedure that aims to reposition or reshape ears that protrude more than usual.
It’s most commonly performed to create a more proportionate appearance between the ears and facial features.
At the three-week mark, swelling has typically reduced, and the ears begin to settle into their new position.
However, healing continues over the following months, and final results vary from person to person.
Recovery is closely monitored through follow-up appointments to support healing, reduce complications, and assess symmetry.
Choosing a qualified surgeon and following post-operative care instructions are key to achieving a safe and satisfactory outcome.
