what to expect
Throughout earlobe repair or surgery, patients receive personalized care and support from Dr. Holland and our team. The procedure is typically completed awake under local anesthesia in our office, ensuring convenience and comfort. Pricing for the procedure is based on its complexity, considering factors such as the number of earlobes involved, whether it's one or both, and if there are gauged earlobes. Recovery involves managing discomfort and swelling, with gradual improvement over several weeks. Follow-up appointments monitor healing progress, with Dr. Holland accessible for any concerns. Patients can expect enhanced confidence and satisfaction with their earlobes.
things to consider before having earlobe repair:
Maximum discomfort will occur the first few days after the procedure and then will subside gradually.
During the first week or two after surgery, you will experience some swelling, bruising and some drainage.
The sutures will be removed 1 week after the procedure.
Avoid re-piercing the ear for 6 weeks, as this may lead to a recurrence of the lobe tear.
Please follow this list of medications and supplements to avoid prior to having your procedure.
