Where is the scar going to be?

The scar for an otoplasty is placed in the crease lines behind the ear. Sometimes a small incision is also made on the front of the ear. The scar on the back of the ear is usually about five to eight centimetres long (two to three inches). All surgery requires a scar and all scars take time to soften and fade. You will not see the final appearance of your scar for a year after surgery. It is usually red and raised for the first month or two after your operation.
