complex reshaping. The goal is always to create a natural, balanced
appearance that enhances the patient's overall facial aesthetics.

can return to normal activities within 7 days, though strenuous
activities should be avoided for approximately one month. Final

the dramatic improvement in ear positioning is quickly noticeable.
Children can typically return to school after approximately one week,
while adult recovery times may vary.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Ears are typically fully developed by age four
	* Minimal scarring, with incisions hidden behind the ear
