otoplasty complications

Otoplasty complications are issues that can happen after ear surgery. These might include infection, which causes redness, swelling, or pain; bleeding or hematoma, where blood gathers behind the ear; changes in ear shape or size; or uneven appearance. Some people may experience scarring or nerve sensation changes, like numbness or tingling. Rarely, the ears might not stay in their new position or might need additional surgery. Most complications are manageable with medical care, and choosing an experienced surgeon helps reduce risks. Open communication about concerns ensures proper management if issues arise.
