After surgery, the patient’s head should be compressed and fixed with dressings and bandages to ensure shaping and healing. Antibiotics will also be applied for three days as a routine anti-infection. After a few days, remove the dressing and use only a light bandage. At this time, follow the doctor's instructions. The sutures are usually removed within a week, and the ears should not be folded forward for a month to avoid stretching the wound. Adults can return to work 5 days after surgery. Children can go to school one week later, but care should be taken to avoid physical activities. Clinically, regardless of the age of the surgical patients, most are satisfied with the results of the surgery. But remember, the goal of surgery is improvement, not perfection. If you have discussed the surgery and your expectations with your plastic surgeon, you will be pleased with the results of your surgery.

Patient ear is mostly a congenital deformity, which tends to occur on both sides, and the degree may not be the same. The auricle has basically completed its development after the age of 6, so rhinoplasty ear correction surgery can be performed in childhood. The structure of the auricle is not complicated, but it is not easy when it comes to shape correction.

(1) Infection: a serious complication of ear surgery. In mild cases, the cosmetic effect will be affected; in severe cases, panchondritis of the auricle will occur, resulting in necrosis and deformation of the auricle, with serious consequences. Preventive measures: In order to prevent infection complications after ear surgery, anti-inflammatory measures must be strengthened before, during and after surgery. Especially if the partial hematoma of the auricle after surgery is not handled properly, secondary infection may occur and the effect of the surgery will be lost.

(2) Asymmetry on both sides of the auricle after correction: This is mostly due to errors in preoperative design, resulting in asymmetry on both sides of the auricle after suturing.

Preventive measures: (1) Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the auricle shape before surgery, formulate an appropriate design plan, observe closely during surgery, and follow up regularly after surgery (2) For those who have already occurred, the deficiency can be corrected. On the other side, secondary surgical correction can be performed 1 year after surgery.
