Recovery Timeline and Tips
Immediate Post-Op (First Week)
Expect mild pain, fullness, or dizziness in the ear for a few days.
Antibiotics and painkillers are commonly prescribed.
Ear packing is usually removed after about a week.
Weeks 2–4
Resume light activities but avoid swimming, flying, or heavy lifting.
Hearing may still be muffled as the graft heals.
Weeks 4–6
Most healing occurs, and hearing improvement becomes noticeable.
Follow-up visits are important for monitoring graft position and healing.
Weeks 8–12
Full recovery is typical, with a final hearing assessment.
Essential Recovery Tips
Keep the ear dry: Avoid water entering the ear canal. Use a cotton ball coated with Vaseline during showers, and never submerge your ear.
Avoid nose blowing and heavy straining: This prevents pressure changes that could disrupt healing.
Don’t insert anything into the ear: No cotton buds or ear drops unless prescribed.
Follow dietary advice: Eat a balanced diet and stay hydrated. Loss of taste is possible but temporary.
Monitor for warning signs: Contact your doctor if you notice persistent pain, fever, foul-smelling discharge, or dizziness that doesn’t improve.
