GOOD CANDIDATES FOR ear SURGERY
Deciding whether or not to have elective surgery is a very important decision. This procedure is ideal for children without untreated chronic ear infections, and for children with good communication skills that are able to follow instructions. This surgery can usually be performed on children over the age of six, when the cartilage in the ear is more mature. Good adult candidates for this surgery include those with a positive outlook and healthy lifestyle, without medical conditions which impair healing, and non-smokers.

While healing varies according to the individual and extent of the procedure, most find that surgical healing is improved within two weeks of surgery and recover within two months. Light Activity is important for the day after surgery and for the first two weeks.Â
it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper skin care and adequate sun protection while healing after surgery.
