Otoplasty (ear Pinning) Recovery Question Posted: 09-22-07 13:26pm


I had otoplasty surgery yesterday. My doctor wrapped my head in a thick bandage and as far as I can tell everything is going good. My only concern right now is sleeping. I'm afraid that if I sleep on my side I could damage some of the work the doctor did. Last night I tried sleeping on my back and I did for a few hours, but then I slept on my side. If any of you had issues after sleeping on your side, please let me know. Any other comments about this surgery would be much appreciated.
