I had earlobe reconstruction surgery and now my earlobes are looking weird like they look kinda elongated. Once the stitches are removed should the shape look more normal?

Thank you for your question. Your case seems like
an infection. First thing I advise for you to do is to make sure you no longer wear
earrings. Clean the earlobe gently with hydrogen peroxide and note
whether there is discharge from your ear (especially the color). However, the best
treatment...
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
Yes. There are many of us that enjoy doing local flaps in the area to recreate the volume of an earlobe. Occasionally it will take a revision procedure as well to really fine tune the result.
