Usually, you will be able to return to your normal life 7-10 days after the operation.
In the immediate postoperative stage, you will have no pain (we will control it with analgesics) and you will be able to eat practically everything. I will not recommend you do intense physical exercise until about a month after your surgery.
If you travel to have surgery with me from an area with a lot of sun, try to avoid direct exposure the first few days, especially in the scars area, although these will be minimal, and will be concealed in the folds surrounding the ears.
