What is the recovery time for ear plastic surgery?

I am a 28 year old male. I want to know what is the recovery time for ear surgery?

The time to recover from otoplasty is typically 5-7 days. The procedure takes about an hour or two, and is relatively painless.
Thank you for the question. The recovery time depends on what type of surgery. If it is for prominent ears, the time is approximately 4-6 weeks. This is a question better asked to the surgeon performing the procedure.
