I have very large ears for a female and would like to have corrective surgery to make them smaller and also to have them closer to my head. I am curious as to what type of anesthesia is used for otoplasty and also what it the recovery time?
We often require general anesthesia for children undergoing otoplasty surgery, but in most adults, this surgery can be performed under local or sedation anesthesia. This is not a painful surgery, and recovery is usually about 1 week.
