Good day! I understand your concern, it's completely normal. Otoplasty is usually performed under local anesthesia, which means that you will be awake during the operation, but you will not feel pain. The surgeon makes an incision behind the ear, where the scar is less visible, and adjusts the cartilage in the ear to achieve the desired shape. The process takes about 1-2 hours, and recovery is relatively quick. You will be under control for about 7-10 days, after which you can return to your daily activities. Wear the protective tape for 5-7 days to keep the teeth in the desired position. The results are usually long-lasting, and you will soon forget about your worries. If you have još any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your surgeon before surgery.

I broke my nose as a child, which is now crooked and makes it difficult for me to breathe on the right side. I am 25 years old and I am thinking about surgery. Is the surgery painful? Can you tell me more about the postoperative course and how long I will have to stay in the hospital?
