EAR SURGERYThe Post-Operative PeriodThere is usually only mild to moderate pain following ear surgery, which is usually controlled with the pain medication which Dr. Parson prescribes for you. You will be asked to take an antibiotic for one week following surgery. You need to keep the dressing clean and dry. Two to three days after the operation, Dr. Parson or his nurse will see you and remove the dressings. You will then be able to shower. The ears are swollen and bruised and numb at this stage. They may look a little irregular from having the dressings in place. You should not worry about their appearance at this point. Healing takes at least 6 weeks to be complete, and even longer for all of the fine details of the ears to return to their normal appearance. There is usually some difference in the appearance of the ears even in normal ears, and so it is uncommon for the ears to be perfectly symmetrical. We will ask you to wear a lightly compressive elastic headband (ladies' hair band) for one month after surgery, only when sleeping. This is done to avoid inadvertent stress on the closure and the corrective sutures. Follow-up photographs are usually taken at 2-3 months, at which time you should look relatively normal.
