Fast Recovery
Recovering from split or torn earlobe repair is fairly straightforward and easy. After the procedure, you will just have a small steri-strip on the area. There is minimal discomfort afterwards, and you should be able to return to work or school immediately.
Step 03
Earring Ready!
After waiting patiently for six weeks, the time has finally come to get your earrings ready! The area should have healed and new earrings can be placed.
Large or Protruding Ears
60 Min Procedure
If you are self-conscious about the size or protrusion of your ears, the good news is that there is a solution. The procedure to correct large or protruding ears typically takes around 60 minutes and can be performed under local anesthesia or with sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
During the procedure, incisions are made behind the ear to access the cartilage. The cartilage is then reshaped and repositioned to create a more balanced and proportionate look. The incisions are closed with sutures, and a headband is worn for the first few days after surgery to aid in healing.
You should have little or no pain at all after surgery with modern techniques.
