Can normal ear piercing holes be closed with cosmetic surgery and essentially make it appear as if the piercings never occurred? Is there great concern for abnormal scarring (hypertrophic, keloid) with an earlobe repair? What is the healing timeline/appearance afterwards? The earlobe feels like there are small bumps within which I assume is scarring of the piercing canal. Would those bumps be removed with the procedure? Lastly, is patient satisfaction high for this type of procedure?
