Possible to Close Ear Piercings That Are Not Torn?

This is a simple fix in the office. The piercing or rip is cut out and repaired precisely. It will probably require about 30 minutes of minor surgery under local anesthesia.

This happens all the time. Holes can be uneven. Holes can stretch over time, or are stretched after trauma, (kids pulling on earrings). We close these holes often under local anesthesia in the office. Give your local facial plastic surgeon or board certified plastic surgeon a call.

Ear piercing holes can be closed in any situation, torn or not.  It is done under local anesthesia and takes about a half an hour to perform.   An excision will be performed around the unwanted piercings and then they will will sutured in a plastic surgery fashion.  Patients typically come back in one week to get the stitches removed which is quick and painless.  Make an appointment with a qualified plastic surgeon to consult with him/her about the surgery.
