After earlobe repair, it is important to follow some post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing and avoid any complications. In general, there are some limitations and activities that you should avoid for a certain period of time after the procedure.   Here are some common limitations that you may have after earlobe repair:   Avoid touching or pulling on the earlobe for the first few days after the procedure.   Avoid any strenuous activities that can cause sweating or increase blood flow to the ears for at least a week after the procedure.   Do not wear any earrings or other jewelry on the repaired earlobe until the earlobe has fully healed, which typically takes 4-6 weeks.   Avoid sleeping on the side of the repaired earlobe for the first week after the procedure.   Do not expose the repaired earlobe to water, such as swimming or bathing, until it has fully healed.   Avoid any activities that could cause trauma or injury to the repaired earlobe, such as contact sports or heavy lifting, for several weeks after the procedure.   Following these limitations will help to ensure proper healing and minimize the risk of any complications. It is important to follow your post-operative instructions for the best results.
