  Otoplasty / Ear Reshaping Q & A  
 
Q: Can Elf Ears Be Fixed?
A: Fixing asymmetrical ears...
The problem that you describe is not uncommon. Many people have small differences from side to side and that needs to be remembered postoperatively in that it may not be possible to make them exactly alike. Having said that, it is possible to make a nice improvement on the ear that sticks out by performing a standard otoplasty. The pointy ear may need some cartilage shaved, or bent in a different way. Make an appointment with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon to see what needs have to be met.

Q: How Long Before Exercising After Otoplasty?
A: How Long Before Exercising After Otoplasty...
An Otoplasty is a very delicate procedure and should be handled with care and patience. Depending on how you feel, you should start out with nonstrenuous exercise after 10 days. Wait for strenuous activities for at least two weeks. Also don't do anything that could cause significant contact to your ears for 2 months. When doing pilates after two weeks, make sure you are not causing additional swelling or pain, and then it will be OK to advance your workouts. Be sure to check in with your plastic surgeon before progressing with your workout regimen.
