How long after an otoplasty can I exercise?

The body heals all wounds. Whether it’s a surgical wound or a non-surgical wound. But to heal most optimally, a relaxed and non-stressed environment is ideal.

What does that mean after a cosmetic surgery? It means performing diligent wound care – keeping things clean and appropriately moistened to allow the body to heal the incision site. It means eating well and providing the body appropriate nutrition. And it also means laying low and not vigorously exercising for the first 2-3 weeks. Exercise, while great for our overall health, can stress healing wounds by increasing our bodies’ blood pressure and temperature beyond that ‘relaxed state’ that’s required for optimal healing.
