Expect results in
Weeks 1–2 (immediate correction)
Ears are set back to their new position straight away. You’ll wear a protective head bandage initially, then a soft support at night as advised. Expect swelling and mild discomfort that settle with simple measures. Incisions behind the ear begin healing; keep them clean and dry per guidance.
Weeks 3–4 (natural integration)
Swelling reduces and contours look more natural from the front and side. Most desk-based work and daily activities are comfortable; avoid contact sports and heavy exertion.
Months 2–3 (balanced harmony)
Cartilage and soft tissues stabilise; symmetry and set-back appear settled. Any subtle firmness continues to soften.
Months 3–6 (final refinement)
Final shape and fold definition are apparent. Scar lines mature and typically fade very well in the post-auricular crease.
Year 1+ (lasting benefits)
Results are designed to be long-lasting. Normal ageing continues naturally, but the improved ear position and balance are maintained.
