Thanks for your question. Unfortunately there is no cream that will close a piercing. If it is a large, elongated hole or cleft it is unlikely that it will completely heal on its own.
THERE ARE NO OINTMENTS THAT CLOSE A HOLE ON YOUR EAR UP, YOU NEED TO JUST LET IT HEAL ON ITS OWN. THE OTHER OPTION YOU HAVE IS TO HAVE THE EARLOBE SOWN UP BY A DOCTOR.
Unfortunately there are no non-surgical methods to close a piercing. Since skin covers the area inside the piercing, the only way to close or repair this is to cut the skin out and sew it shut. The good news is that this a very simple procedure that can be done in the office under local anesthesia. Cost can vary from $250 to $750/lobe.
Thank you for the question. No, there are no nonsurgical modality to close a pierced ear lobe.“Split” or pierced earlobes can be easily reconstructed under local anesthesia with minimal risk and recovery time. It is important to re-approximate the curved earlobe precisely to avoid step off or other visible deformity. You will find lots of examples of this procedure performed on this website, and on the attached link as well. I would suggest a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.Best wishes.
Ointments will not close a hole. Removing the stud or earring and allowing the area to close up on its own would be step one but if it is a large hole, then surgery would be the only option.
No ointment or anything topical will close a piercing. If the ear was pierced recently, it may close up on it own. If the ear has been pierced or stretched for a long period of time, the only option is an earlobe repair.
Earlobe repair is a common procedure in our plastic surgery office. I employ a technique that involves removing the excess scar tissue and reapproximating the tissue planes in multiple layers to recontour the earlobe after gauges, torn earlobes, or stretched out earlobes. Sometimes, the same...
There are two possible mechanisms.1. Some blood got into the ear canal during surgery and dried up and is now blocking the hearing. 2. The posterior (back) wall of the ear canal was pushed forward during surgery (a known complication) and is blocking some of the hearing. The ear doctor...
Earlobe surgery is composed of several techniques that can either repair torn earlobes (split earlobes) or correct overly redundant earlobe tissue from piercings or genetics or stretching. Our HIDEF earlobe repair includes a recontouring of the earlobe contour using multilayered sutures to...
Thank you for your question, and the photos. We typically do this procedure in our office under local anesthesia. We usually close the incision in layers to take the tension off of the incision. This usually leads to a nicer incision line. Please call the office for more details and the cur...
Extra cartilage in the earlobe is quite common and in our office, we usually employ outpatient procedures to remove the cartilage and mass with surgery.Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
Although it is true that the holes will tend to shrink in size once the gauges are removed, the amount of shrinking can vary. The larger the gauge size and the longer the gauge has been in place both decrease the amount of shrinking that will happen. Unfortunately, it is very likely that the...
