Before and after left earlobe repair and repiercing in a 25-year-old woman. From years of wearing heavy dangling earrings, sleeping with her earrings in and holding the phone to her right ear while talking, her left lobule piercing had stretched out. Her right earlobe was fine.
A lobule repair and piercing the earlobe up a little higher was planned as shown in the second set of images. This procedure took 30 minutes and was done under local anesthesia. She started scar therapy a month after surgery.
Follow up photos are shown 3 months after surgery. We recommend our patients wear either piercing studs or small hoop earrings and leave them in place for at least 3 months after healing to facilitate smooth healing.
