AFTERFrequently asked questions
What should I discuss at the first consultation?
Explain the changes you would like, baseline asymmetry, previous procedures, medical conditions, medications and allergies. The surgeon assesses ear shape and position and discusses correction options.
Will both ears be identical?
Baseline asymmetry is considered when planning surgery. Perfect symmetry is not guaranteed; limitations and the possibility of revision are discussed before surgery.
Which risks should I understand?
These include haematoma, infection, altered sensation, healing problems, visible scars and an unsatisfactory outcome. Discuss your individual risks and alternatives with your surgeon and review the consent document.
When can I return to normal activities?
Timing depends on the procedure and healing. Before surgery, clarify wound care, dressings, activity restrictions and follow-up visits. Follow your surgeon’s individual instructions.
Can another patient’s photographs predict my result?
Photographs help discuss your goals but show individual outcomes. Consider baseline ear shape, head position, lighting and the time since surgery.
