Do I have to cut my hair before ear surgery? Cutting one’s hair before ear surgery is no longer necessary, as a matter of fact long hair may be used to hide the medication after the procedure. The surgeon will recommend a disinfectant shampoo to wash your hair with on the morning of your surgery.

Is there an age limit for an otoplasty? Ear surgery can be performed at any age. In children, it is preferable to wait until their ears have reached full size, typically when aged 8 to 10.
