At Metro ENT Care your torn earlobes can be efficiently and safely corrected using delicate surgical techniques. It is important to speak with our doctor in order to figure out which procedure is best for you. The process is performed in our office under local anesthesia with other optional sedatives. The procedure is performed without any discomfort.<\/p>\n
Our average procedure begins with removing the previously healed and scarred area of the earlobe in order to correct it. We then repair the tear using the technique we would have previously discussed with the patient. It is important to make sure an infection does not occur in the repaired area in the days following the procedure. Antibiotic ointment would then need to be applied at home for several days to ensure cleanliness. Once the earlobe has healed, you would barely see a pencil-fine scar line without aesthetic limitations.<\/p>\n
The earlobe can be pierced again, however, we do insist that our patients wait a minimum of 8 weeks before re-piercing their lobes in order to minimize the risk of complications. It is essential to prevent repeated earlobe damage. Make sure to wear light earrings and to avoid wearing easily grabbed earrings around small children.
