A lady had corrective ear surgery (otoplasty) done, but she questions that her doctor did not advise the use of a headband for surgical healing, as she read that it’s normal after surgery. She asks if her doctor gave the right advice.

New York Oculofacial plastic surgeon Dr. Amiya Prasad explains in this video that a doctor’s judgment is based on the individual patient’s needs, and in this case, a concurrent facelift procedure likely affected doctor’s advice of not having a headband worn:

1:20 - Dr. Prasad’s experience with otoplasty
1:35 - Stitches in the ear from a facelift
2:07 - Trust for a doctor to perform surgery should be the same trust given for aftercare advice
2:23 - A concurrent facelift, a bandage could also offer support for the splinting of an otoplasty
2:40 - How an otoplasty is performed, and the issues it resolves in the middle and upper ear
3:32 - The importance of weakening the ear cartilage to bring the ear closer to head, and create a fold
3:58 - Why excessive swelling is not surprising, considering two surgeries were done concurrently
4:08 - Importance of doctor’s judgment for support and splinting after surgery
4:20 - Why Dr. Prasad routinely recommends headbands, but he does not perform facelifts and otoplasty at the same time
4:29 - Why Dr. Prasad’s patients don’t ask for an otoplasty with a facelift
4:47 - The likely reasons the Dr. didn’t recommend a headband after surgery, including the concurrent facelift
5:32 - Why medicine is not usually black and white, and involves personal judgment
5:47 - Why the doctor may recommend a headband after the facelift sutures are removed
