Ear Surgery Postoperative Recovery Following surgery, the ears are covered with a bulky dressing. There is some soreness and discomfort that is easily controlled by medication. If you have been admitted to a hospital, you will be usually be released the day after the operation. Within a few days, dressings are removed. To promote healing, patients may be asked to wear a light head dressing for several weeks. The objective of otoplasty is more natural and better proportioned ears. (Fig. 4) Since incisions are made in the back of the ears, faint scars should be concealed in the creases.
