Patients should avoid swimming or immersing the ears in water, including
pools, oceans, or baths, for about 4 to 6 weeks after Otoplasty to prevent
infection and aid in proper healing. Moisture and submersion can increase the
risk of complications during the initial recovery phase. After this period and
once the surgeon confirms it’s safe, individuals can gradually resume
swimming or water-related activities following post-operative instructions for
protection and care.
