WHAT TO EXPECT
Ear correction recovery, week by week
Recovery after an ear correction starts on the day itself. The procedure takes about an hour under local anaesthetic, right after you get a pressure bandage and you go home the same day. Then comes a headband.

WEEK BY WEEK
Your ears no longer stand out, your face does: that's why you do it. With ear position correction, protruding ears are brought closer to the head. Here's what the road there looks like.
The day before. We give you a quick call, so you know exactly what to expect and can still ask your questions.
The day itself. After the procedure you get a pressure bandage, and you go home the same day.
The day after. We call you to hear how you're doing.
The first week. After the pressure bandage comes the headband, which you usually wear day and night. Take it easy and don't bend over.
After about a week. The stitches come out.
The weeks after. You wear the headband for a few more weeks at night only. You put contact sports and swimming on hold for a number of weeks.

IN GOOD HANDS
The day of your ear correction
You're under local anaesthetic, and in about 60 minutes it's done. Through a small incision behind your ear, the doctor corrects the cartilage so your ear sits closer to your head.
Right after, you get a pressure bandage around your ears. No overnight stay needed: you sleep in your own bed that night.

HOME, SWEET HOME
At home after your ear correction
The first week is all about rest. Take it slow, and above all: don't bend over. You also skip washing your hair that first week.
You get clear aftercare advice from us, including the exact headband schedule that fits your recovery. So at home you know exactly what to do.

The result of your ear correction
SMOOTH, STILL YOU
The scars sit behind the ear and are barely visible once you've recovered. Because the incision is at the back, the result looks completely natural.
An ear position correction is lasting by nature, because the cartilage is structurally set in a new position.
Once you've recovered, your ears sit naturally and in proportion with the rest of your face. A relatively small procedure, then, with a big difference in how you feel and how you look.
