Congratulations, Miasme!
Sounds like you've done well with your orthognathic adventure. Like you, I found R very attentive and hypervigiliant for possible complications.
I'm curious: do you know what, exactly, caused your earache?

Also wanted to add re: question of how to negotiate possible post-surgical complications with overseas surgery.
It's definitely something to take into account. Dr. R. usually wants people to stay at least 10 days to 2 weeks after surgery. Both times I was cleared to leave earlier because healing was progressing.
Suggest you carefully review literature for incidents of post-surgical complications, the statistical frequency of such complications and the identifiable causes.
