The best candidates for earlobe repair surgery are people whose earlobes are torn or overly stretched due to piercing or trauma. Earlobe repair surgery is minimally invasive, but still requires some pre and postoperative care. Good candidates must be able to follow these directions to minimize any risks.
How do I Prepare for Earlobe Repair Surgery?
You may need to temporarily stop taking certain medications in the weeks leading up to your earlobe repair surgery.
On the day of your surgery, you will want to come to our office in something comfortable. Earlobe repair surgery is an in-office procedure performed under local anesthetic. Many patients can drive themselves to and from the procedure.
We will discuss preparation with you in greater detail as your surgical date approaches to help you plan accordingly.
What Is the Recovery and Aftercare for Earlobe Repair Surgery?
There will be some limitations on certain activities for the first few weeks of recovery. It is important that nothing be done that could irritate or open the sutures. After four weeks, you should be able to resume all normal activities.
Aftercare requires keeping your incisions dry and clean. We will provide you with instructions to help ensure the most pleasant recovery possible.
How Soon After My Procedure Can I Start Wearing Earrings Again?
After the earlobe has healed completely – which may take up to 12 weeks – it should be safe to pierce your ears. During your follow-up visits, we can help you determine when you have recovered enough to start wearing earrings.
