After ear surgery, it is important to protect your ears from direct sunlight for a certain period to avoid potential complications and promote optimal healing. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions, but generally, it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight exposure for at least several weeks, and to use sun protection measures such as wearing a wide-brimmed hat and applying sunscreen with a high SPF to the surgical areas when going outdoors. Following these guidelines will help minimize the risk of scarring, discoloration, and other unwanted effects from sun exposure during the crucial healing phase.
