What Can I Expect During Earlobe Repair?
Depending on the severity of your earlobe tear, Dr. Schultz will identify the appropriate treatment technique specifically for you. Most often, the entire treatment process lasts anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour to complete. A local anesthetic will be provided to help you remain comfortable, and a tiny incision will be made within the tissue of the ear. Any damaged areas will then be removed, and the incision will be carefully closed with sutures. Eliminating any damaged tissue from the ear can encourage new healthy tissue to develop. Sutures will need to be removed in about a week, and you can generally receive a new piercing in your ear within 6 – 8 weeks.
