During the ear surgery procedure, known as otoplasty, you can expect to be placed under anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. Your surgeon will make incisions strategically placed behind the ear, sculpt or reshape the cartilage as needed, and secure it in the desired position using internal sutures. The procedure typically takes a few hours, and you can anticipate a period of post-operative swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication and by following your surgeon’s aftercare instructions.
