What Is Earlobe Repair & How Is It Done?

Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure to correct stretches or tears caused by heavy earring or earring-related injuries.

We at Skin Aura Karnal start by numbing the area with a local anaesthetic, so you will be awake but fully comfortable during the process. ?

They surgically remove the skin inside the opening before stitching the hole or tear closed. This allows the tissues to fuse together as they heal, creating a long-lasting correction.

Can I Get My Ears Pierced Again After an Earlobe Repair?

Once your earlobes have healed completely, you can get a new piercing done next to the previously pierced area.

Unfortunately, we cannot leave any openings in place during the surgery.

Attempting to leave a pinpoint opening usually causes healing issues and is rarely successful. However, you will likely have no issues getting a new piercing.

Will I Have a Scar After Earlobe Repair?

Any surgical procedure is likely to leave a scar. However, Dr.Divya Shukla prioritize leaving behind as little scarring or cosmetic changes to the earlobe as possible.

How Long Does Earlobe Repair Take To Heal?

You’ll have your sutures removed after 10 to 14 days, and some additional healing will take place for another 6 to 8 weeks. There is minimal downtime directly after the surgery.

You’ll likely be able to return to work and your other usual activities within just a day or two.
