Can a patient re-pierce their ears after an Ear Lobe Reconstruction Surgery?

Yes, it's perfectly fine to re-pierce the ears after an earlobe reconstruction.  In most cases I recommend re-piercing no sooner than 1 month after sutures are removed.

I have my patients wait 4-6 weeks after earlobe repair before having their earlobes re-pierced.

Our office specializes in scar revision surgery, including the earlobes. We recommend repiercing of the earlobes about 4 to 6 weeks after earlobe repair. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian 

Yes you are able to pierce the ear again after surgery. You want to make sure you wait a couple of weeks before doing so. Good luck.

It is possible to re-pierce your earlobes after earlobe repair.  I suggest my patients have them re-pierce just in front or behind the repair site rather than within the actual spot that was repaired. 

Yes, the earlobe can definitely be re-pierced. Actually, when I reconstruct an earlobe that has been overly stretched, I make a new piercing at the same time.

It is my opinion that yes you can!  I tell all my earlobe repairs to wait at least 6 months from the time of repair and ideally it would not be directly through the repair scar.  Good luck!Garrett A. Wirth, MD, MS, FACS

 Your plastic surgeon has given you good/appropriate advice. Probably best not to re pierce the ears in the area of previous repair. Best wishes.

Yes, you can re-pierce them. We usually wait at least 6 weeks after the repair surgery before doing so. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.  I would say it is best to wait 6 months before re-piercing your ears to make sure the ears are stable.  You should consult your surgeon to see what he thinks is best.Best of luck to you,Dr. Peter Newen
