Otoplasty can be performed on patients as young as 5 years old, although it is most commonly performed on adults. Children's ears are almost fully developed by age 5, making this a good age to correct any ear issues.
Otoplasty is typically performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the treatment area. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure and afterwards. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with pain management medication to help you recover comfortably.
Most patients are able to return to work and normal activities within a week of their otoplasty procedure. It is important to follow your plastic surgeon's post-operative instructions, including wearing a headband to keep your ears in place as they heal. You may also experience some swelling and bruising, which will subside over time.
