I wear my hair up ALL the time and I never would have before. I always wore my hair down, even on hot summer days and as a dancer, I hated performing only because I have to wear my hair up. If this is something you really want, GO FOR IT! The pain is not bad at all, at least for me it wasn't. You will have to wear a bandage around your head for about once week, this will be very difficult to hide but once the bandage is off, you can wear your hair down until the swelling has gone down, but there usually isn't much. I don't think anyone will notice you have had the surgery done if they have never seen your ears before. That was the case for me at least. Honestly, the only people who could tell were my family and my dance team since they were the only ones who had seen my ears before. Well, I know I rambled a lot but I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. The surgery made me so much more confident and I know it will do the same for you too! I recently had otoplasty (in March 2008) and I could not be happier.

]]> Comment on Is it possible to have local and twilight anestesia only during an otoplasty? by The mom http://www.laserear.com/is-it-possible-to-have-local-and-twilight-anestesia-only-during-an-otoplasty/comment-page-1/#comment-975 The mom Fri, 10 Dec 2010 18:45:18 +0000 http://www.laserear.com/is-it-possible-to-have-local-and-twilight-anestesia-only-during-an-otoplasty/#comment-975 You misunderstand the different types of anethetic I think. You can have general anesthesia, without having a tube put down your throat. A local anesthetic would only deaden sensation in the immediate area of your ear- you would still be fully awake. "Twilight" anesthesia usually refers to the use of nitrous oxide to relax you, and is more commonly used in dental procedures when a patient is terrified of the needles or something. Neither is really useful in the procedure you are looking at. General anesthesia in your case would most likely involve giving you medication through an intravenous line, and you would drift off to sleep just as you naturally do. It is a nice deep sleep, during which you don't feel any pain at all, and have no memory of anything that happens. Then the doctor is free to do whatever is needed, without having to worry about giving you pain. Also, local anesthetics are tricky to use on the face, and you might need more anesthetic than would be safe to give. You would not need to have a "tube" down your throat at all, unless there were problems with breathing that occured. In that case, you might need to be intubated, but that is generally removed before you wake up in recovery. You would not wake up with a tube in your throat at all. And even if it did become necessary, chances are good you would never realize it was even done at all. I work in post op recovery, and I've seen that happen before. At any rate, you will discuss all of the procedure with the surgeon and anesthesiologist before the procedure is done. You can certainly bring up your concerns then. But do consider that these are people who are trained to do the job, and know how to do the best job for you- but only if you trust them to do it and let them do it. Don't get yourself all worked up over the anesthesia. Everyone has a bit of fear with that, and honestly it's not that bad. Just trust your doctors know their jobs, and will do their best for you. Lots of folks have surgery every day, and they all discover the fear was a lot worse than the actual procedure. Good luck, and hope you like the new ears.

]]> Comment on How do I find a good plastic surgeon for ear reduction surgery? by Phoebe http://www.laserear.com/how-do-i-find-a-good-plastic-surgeon-for-ear-reduction-surgery/comment-page-1/#comment-763 Phoebe Fri, 08 Oct 2010 15:58:25 +0000 http://www.laserear.com/how-do-i-find-a-good-plastic-surgeon-for-ear-reduction-surgery/#comment-763 Plastic surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her breast reduction, tummy tuck and facelift surgery in India by the company called Forerunners Healthcare .The Price for the surgery she paid in India was very less. She paid 30% of the cost she was quoted in America. Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. They arrange cosmetic and plastic surgery for foreigners in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as the breast reduction, tummy tuck, facelift and other cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star. http://www.forerunnershealthcare.com Hope this helps. Plastic surgery is very safe nowadays.

I had ear surgery for a broken ear drum. I lost 20% of my hearing in one ear (maybe more throughout the years now). Could've been worse without the surgery. I've lived with it now for 20+ years, and I can hear just fine. Just don't whisper in my bad ear.
