Frequently Asked Questions
Our team of highly skilled surgeons specializes in discreet incisions, ensuring your results appear natural and authentic to you—without signs of surgery. During your otoplasty in Indianapolis, we create a small incision in the natural fold behind the ear. This strategic placement conceals any visible scarring.
Yes. Otoplasty is a broad term for surgeries that reshape the entire outer ear, including the earlobes. Earlobe repair is a type of otoplasty that focuses only on reshaping stretched or torn lobes. Our surgeons can perform earlobe repair independently or as part of a more comprehensive otoplasty, depending on your goals.
Many patients wait to go back to work or school until their head dressing and bandages are removed. However, in general, patients feel well enough to return much sooner—usually within a few days.
Improvements are apparent immediately after surgery. Of course, it takes time for incisions to heal completely, but your ears’ refined shape and size are visible right away.
You will have surgical dressing in place for the first few days after surgery to prevent injury and optimize healing. The majority of bruising and swelling resolves within 10 to 14 days, making your results more visible and natural-looking. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to support a fast and comfortable healing process, but never hesitate to contact us with questions once you’ve left our office.
