I had surgery to reduce the lobes because they were really long and hanging...Also will this scar ever go away? I tried putting an earring inside after a month and it didn't work....

Answer: Earlobe surgery Hi there and thanks for your question and photo! I typically tell patients to wait 6 weeks before we can re-pierce your earlobes. I also recommend that you put a silicone scar cream on your earlobes to help minimize the scarring. Best of luck!

Answer: Repiercing After Earlobe Repair Thanks for your question and posting your photo. I am unsure of you not being able to put earrings on after a month. Did the original hole close up? Or did you try and repierce them? Depending on patient preference, I can either repierce at the time of repair or wait 6-8 weeks after adequate healing has taken place. Good luck!
