Do most doctors re-pierce the ear after ear lobe repair from elongated piercings?

Asked By:runnergirl1114 in Kentucky, KY

When I called to get a quote from a local office about ear lobe repair, I was told the doctor repierces the ears for you at a later date so the piercing will go in a desirable location as not to damage what was repaired. When I called back to schedule I was informed that I was told incorrectly about the re-piercing and they do not offer that any longer. Now I am hesitant to get the procedure because I don’t know who I could find to re-pierce my ears in the correct spot. What is common practice?
