Smoking and alcohol consumption can significantly hinder the recovery
process after Otoplasty. Smoking reduces blood flow, impeding healing and
increasing the risk of complications like delayed wound healing and infection.
Alcohol consumption can also interfere with proper healing and increase
bleeding risks. Both habits can prolong recovery, compromise surgical
outcomes, and heighten the chances of post-operative complications. It’s
strongly advised to abstain from smoking and limit alcohol intake to aid
recovery.
