You should wait one month after surgery before wearing earrings. Dr. Rokhsar often recommends creating a brand new hole using a piercing gun a month after the surgical ear lobe repair. This new hole will be nice and tight and will hold your earring tightly in the right place in the desired area of your earlobe matching your earring on the other side. The scar after surgery with Dr. Rokhsar is barely noticeable. We offer ear piercing service complimentary for our surgery earlobe surgery patients in both our Manhattan Upper East Side and Long Island Garden City offices in New York. If at any point the area of surgery forms any hard bumps, this could be the sign of the beginning of keloid formation. Dr. Rokhsar advises to start steroid injections immediately at the first sign of any hard bumps developing over the surgical area. For most patients, the area of the surgery will remain soft, which will allow you to get your lobe re-pierced approximately one month after the earlobe repair.
