Question:
What is the rate of complications with ear surgery?
Answer:
Cosmetic ear surgery, also known as otoplasty, involves risks just like any other plastic surgery procedure. During recovery there is usually only mild bruising and minimal discomfort which improves within a week or so of the procedure. Otoplasty complications are minimal and rare if performed correctly by an experienced plastic surgeon, particularly a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon like Dr. Jeffrey Epstein. Most minor complications can be relieved with medication or simple treatment.
