Earlobe Repair Surgery
Dr. Jochen goes into action as he performs an earlobe repair surgery. There are plenty of reasons why patients come in for this procedure like stretched earlobes because of heavy earrings or as a part of the process of aging, or maybe a torn earlobe. This reparative surgery has become one of the popular procedures in our practice.
What to Expect During Earlobe Repair Surgery
Earlobe repair surgery is typically an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort and a swift recovery. The process begins with a thorough consultation to discuss your goals and assess the damage to your earlobes. During the surgery, the damaged tissue is carefully excised, and the remaining skin is meticulously stitched to restore a natural, seamless appearance. The procedure usually takes less than an hour, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-surgery, patients can expect some swelling and minor discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications and cold compresses. It is essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure optimal healing and prevent infection. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days, although it’s advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for a couple of weeks. The stitches are typically removed within a week, and the final results become more apparent as the healing process progresses.
