Question:
I am 19 years old and I want my ears pinned back. Is this surgery done on an inpatient or outpatient basis? How long before all of the swelling or bruising is gone?
Answer:
Otoplasty is done on an outpatient basis. There is typically very little bruising or swelling or discomfort. However most patients are required to wear a form fitting bandage around their head for 5-7 days post op.
