I recommend patients wait 3 months prior to re-piercing. The time constraints you are under put you at risk to re-tear. Best wishes.
We tell our patients to wait 6 weeks following the surgery before they can re pierce the hole. Usually we re pierce it for them.
Apply Plato's Scar Serum on the earlobe scar and then wait about 4 to 6 weeks to re-pierce. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
If you need to wear earrings before the three month mark, consider using clip-on earrings. When you get re-pierced, it may be best to place the new hole near to, but not on the scar. Re-piercing through the scar predisposes to another tear.Hope this helps.Dr Joseph
i always tell my patients it will be around 6 weeks before we can re-pierce, and that post will stay in for one month before switching earrings. everyone has different practices, so i suggest you contact the PS who did your earlobe repair as depending on the extent of the repair you may be able to do things sooner, or may need to wait a little bit longer. best of luck.
