THINGS TO AVOID AFTER PROMINENT EAR CORRECTION SURGERY
The following five steps will support your recovery
- Avoid Touching or Manipulating the Ears: It's essential to refrain from touching, scratching, or manipulating the ears immediately after surgery. Doing so can disrupt the healing process, increase the risk of infection, and compromise the results.
- Avoid Strenuous Activities: For a specified period following surgery, it's crucial to avoid strenuous activities that may exert pressure on the ears or increase blood flow to the surgical area. This includes activities such as heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, and contact sports.
- Avoid Sleeping on the Operated Side: To prevent undue pressure on the ears and facilitate proper healing, it's recommended to avoid sleeping on the side that underwent surgery. Using pillows or cushions to support the head and keep the ears elevated can help minimise discomfort and promote healing.
- Avoid Exposure to Water and Moisture: It's important to keep the surgical incisions dry and free from moisture during the initial healing phase. Avoid swimming, soaking in hot tubs, or exposing the ears to excessive moisture, as this can increase the risk of infection and interfere with the healing process.
- Avoid Wearing Tight or Constrictive Headwear: Tight or constrictive headwear, such as hats, headbands, or helmets, should be avoided during the early stages of recovery. These can put pressure on the ears and disrupt the healing process. Opt for loose-fitting and comfortable headwear instead.
