Who is this surgery for?
- Protruding or prominent ears (often bilateral).
- Macrotia (abnormally large ears).
- Congenital ear deformities or malformations (e.g., constricted ear, Stahl's ear).
- Significant asymmetry between the two ears.
- Unsatisfactory results from a previous otoplasty.
- Traumatic ear injuries or deformities requiring reconstruction.
- Psychological distress or social teasing due to ear appearance, especially in children.
How to prepare
- Undergo a comprehensive consultation with the surgeon to discuss goals, techniques, and medical history.
- Discontinue blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) and supplements as advised by the surgeon.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure and assist you for the first 24 hours.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least two weeks before surgery to promote healing.
- Complete any required pre-operative lab tests or medical clearances.
- Follow fasting instructions (no food or drink) typically from midnight before the surgery if general anesthesia is planned.
Risks & possible complications
- Infection at the incision site, requiring antibiotics.
- Bleeding or hematoma (collection of blood under the skin).
- Adverse reaction to anesthesia.
- Asymmetry or unsatisfactory cosmetic result.
- Changes in skin sensation (numbness or hypersensitivity) around the ears, usually temporary.
- Scarring (though typically well-concealed behind the ear).
- Suture complications, such as extrusion or granuloma formation.
- Rare risk of cartilage overcorrection or undercorrection, potentially requiring revision surgery.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Wear a protective headband or compression bandage continuously for the first week, and then at night for several more weeks as instructed.
- Expect mild to moderate swelling, bruising, and discomfort, managed with prescribed pain medication.
- Keep the head elevated, even while sleeping, for the first few days to reduce swelling.
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and contact sports for at least 4-6 weeks.
- Keep incisions clean and dry; follow specific wound care instructions provided by your surgeon.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for suture removal (if non-dissolvable) and progress monitoring.
- Final, refined results become apparent once all swelling has subsided, which may take a few months.

I'd been to three doctors with...
I'd been to three doctors with this weird fatigue and pain, everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mohanty was the first one who actually stopped and listened. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no fancy jargon. I'm on the right treatment now, and I finally feel like myself again.
