Earlobe surgery does leave a small scar. If your earlobe was severely damaged or you are getting surgery to correct multiple torn piercings, then you may have more than one scar.
Fortunately, it is difficult to detect most earlobe surgery scars after they have healed. Our surgeons use non-absorbable sutures to further minimize scarring. You can help the incision lines fade even more by avoiding unprotected sun exposure for six months after surgery.
Most patients agree that tightening and repairing their earlobes is worth the tradeoff of having a scar. Talk to our surgeons about the results that you may be able to expect.
