The ear wasn't in much pain, and what little pain, and what little pain there was went away pretty quickly. You have to wear a hat for one month post-op, for sun protection. And you can only swim two months post-op. the swelling takes about six months to go away.
The rib pain took about six weeks to go away, and you shouldn't be doing contact sports or anything that makes the pain worse during that time.

Meeting the new ear
I only got to see my new ear for the first time 3 days post-op. here's what I saw:
Even though it was covered in blue ink and looked kind of wacky, I couldn't believe I had an ear. I had to keep it covered for another week, and had to wear a hat for a month after that.
It's been healing wonderfully and looks even more amazing now.
