Following certain plastic surgery procedures, such as ear surgery, it is generally recommended to avoid using headphones or earbuds immediately after the surgery to allow for proper healing. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions tailored to your procedure, and they will advise you on when it is safe to resume using headphones or earbuds based on your individual healing progress.

What is ear surgery?
Ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure aimed at reshaping and repositioning the ears for aesthetic purposes. It can address concerns such as protruding ears, ear size, or shape irregularities, resulting in a more balanced and harmonious appearance. During an otoplasty, your surgeon will make incisions behind the ear to access the cartilage, reshape it, and secure it in a desired position. The procedure can often be performed on an outpatient basis, and recovery time varies from patient to patient. Your surgeon will provide you with specific pre- and post-operative instructions to ensure a safe and successful outcome.
