You should follow the advice of the surgeon who is carrying out your surgery. Pressure earrings can be used to treat keloids. But if surgery is already planned pressure treatment would usually be started after surgery not before.Best wishes
Thank you for your question,A pressure earring may be used by some surgeon after the removal, however i don't see the advantage of using it before. Cortisone infection may be consider to soften the keloid.Best wishesDr Genevieve F Caron, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonMontreal, Canada
You need not wear a pressure earring on the normal part of your ear. Oftentimes, your surgeon will recommend a pressure earring on the operated area of your ear but only after the surgery has been performed.Elliot Jacobs, MD, FACSNew York City
