Washing hair after ear surgery
Question asked: - 09. 07. 2024
Good day. I had surgery five days ago and I'm wondering if I can take a bath and wash my hair? Is there a waiting period before šI can do these things?

After uši surgery (otoplasty), it is recommended to avoid bathing and washing your hair for the first 7 to 10 days, until the wounds have completely healed and until you have removed any šavnes or bandages. This is important to avoid infections and allow for proper recovery. Also, wetting the area around the ear should be avoided until the postoperative recovery is complete. I recommend that you consult with your surgeon before returning to normal activities.

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?
