After getting otoplasty playing sports is still safe right? I think i have the cuff ear. i put pictures below! im sure im a good candidate. thanks for your time

yes, it appears to be a cup deformity almost exclusively. the problem with sports is that i am always worried that things will tear up. i honestly would be out of sports for at least 6 months if it is contact. we could go as low as 3 months depending on the sport but nothing earlier. what kind of sports are we talking about?

it would be soccer! rarely we are hit in the side of the head by a ball but it happens!

i would say 3 months if it was something you had to do. 6 months if not. if 3 months, then you must wear a head band during play.
