Ear surgery?
My ears stick out very far and are very large so i am planning on getting surgery. I was just wondering how long I would have to take off of work for. See the problem is i don't want anyone to know that I got the surgery. I was just wondering if there are any quick, easy procedures to pin the ears up. If theres not a quick way, Im only 17 and i work about 5 hours a day and its not very strenuous work so i was wondering how long i would need to be off my feet. thanks!

I HAD THIS DONE.... and I had them pinned back and I had a little bit of extra cartilage put in. The thing is you have a cast around your head (or at least I did for about a week) but, they may have improved the system since I had it done. I had it done 4 years ago and I am so glad that I did it. I am 17 too and I honestly say, take at least three days off. I know its a pain but you will need it. I remember how it kind of hurt and I could NOT sleep (even on medication) for the first few nights. It wore me out. Another thing is that it kind of leaks blood and fluids out of the cast, so you don't really want to display this in public, and they put this really greasy fluid in your hair to hold it back. I promise you, that you shouldn't go out in public for at least a weak. And besides, you don't want to catch an infection. If you are going to do, get it done right, its better to miss a week at once, than if you get your ears infected and have to miss off and on. I know what a pain it is to get your schedule changed, but you will be thankful that you did it. Good Luck and enjoy your new look!

there are alot of different surgeries for the ear. perhaps you have chronic infection d/t the mastoid bone being infected. sometimes it is possible to scrape this bone to help clear the infection and sometimes they will remove the bone. good luck to you

What is a rough cost estimate for ear surgery?
I have a Cholesteatoma, the presence of which was discovered during my entry processing into the military. I was denied entry until I have this "tumor" removed. It is not waiverable and I don't have insurance to cover this. What I need to know is how much it's going to cost and if there are ways of paying for something like this without insurance or a large amount of upfront money. I will also need reconstructive surgery on that ear, but I can get a waiver for my hearing loss as long as the Cholesteatoma is removed, from there I can use the military insurance for any other surgeries. Any help would be much appreciated.

Im sorry to hear about this. Well just to let you know that there is medicare out there for people who qualify. If your low income meats the qualifications you can get money for free. If I were you I would find a place that you can get some insurance. Any sugery is costly. Just to spend the night in the hospital its 2000 dollars alone. Also is this something that has to be removed? Or does it not affect any thing. You mite want to concider is going into the service is worth all the recovery time and money you have to do to get this removed. Im sorry about your trouble I wish I could help. Check on the Medicare thing.

How long does it take for my hearing to come back after ear surgery?
I had surgery on the 25th of January, and right now i'm kinda paranoid about if my hearing is gonna come back. If it means anything, My doctor had to remove some cancer from my ear, Don't know the name of it, All i know is that it starts with a C and it's long, And they had to remove it, Plus, They have to tinker with my eardrum thankfully. If anyone has any insight on how long til i get my hearing back would be much appreciate.

4-8 weeks at best
