An easy supplement in ear surgery to reduce patient’s post-operative discomfort
Abstract
The goal of otoplasty surgery for prominent ears is to normalize the shape and position of both ears with maximal symmetry. The aim of the post-operative dressing is to maintain the designated shape and position, and to confer a degree of compression in order to prevent hematoma formation.References
