Embedded earring backing stuck inside my earlobe. How much the cost to remove it by a doctor?

Question

Early treatment is key to avoid scar formation and skin closure of the original piercing hole. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Shwetambara Parakh, MD · Answer

This can be taken care of under local anesthesia in the office setting and insurance may or maynot be able to cover this depending on your situation. Ranges from $400 upwards in the northeast. Good luck !

Matthew Bridges, MD, FACS · Answer

I have sent this to insurance before. Otherwise it would depend on how much is involved in the removal.

David Shamouelian, MD · Answer

Hi and Thank you for the question. 
This can be addressed in the office under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort and no visible scars for $250. 
Hope this helps,
Dr. David
