Can I have my ears pierced again if I've had construction of ear lobes? Was torn due to earrings many years go (Photo)

Yes, most practices will include this in the initial informed consent and cost.  I have patients wait for 6 weeks and place the new hole slightly off line from the repair to make sure there is as much strength in the tissue as possible.  I hope this helps.  

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 reapproximate the curvature of the earlobe; while simultaneously restoring contour to the ear. In patients with pixie ears after facelift surgery, an alternate technique is used to reduce the dependance of the earlobe on the facelift flap. Facelift surgery can reshape the earlobe and this requires restoration. Sutures are usually taken out within 10 days and the wound is repierced in 4-6 weeks thereafter. Keloid scars must be addressed in patients with known history for scarring.

Absolutely!After I fix earlobes I usually re-pierce my patient's ears in the office about 6 weeks later.
