I separated from the military in 2008 first thing I did was get pierced at a 4g because I thought it was Cool The military just revised their reenlistment criteria and I'm now eligible to serve my counter again! Before I can begin this process of reenlisting though, I need to get my earlobes closed VERY QUICKLY and need them to heal very nicely (Need a very skilled doctor). I can't believe such a stupid choice I made is going to prevent me from providing a decent life to my son. Please help me

Answer: Ear lobe repair Earlobe repair is a very common procedure. Frequently, we have patients who will have the procedure done the same day as the consultation. Typically, the cost is between $450-850 per earlobe, depending on the severity and the length of the procedure.You may be able to find a doctor who will do this under insurance but i am not aware of any.The length of time the ears have been gauged should have no effect on the procedure. As long as the tissue is no longer irritated or inflamed, there is no reason not to give it a try. Gauged ears are sometimes more difficult than some other earlobe repairs since the tissue is so over stretched, but we are still able to create a natural looking earlobe. You can get your ear re pierced about 6 weeks after and should be included in the pricing. Shop around in your area and see if you can find a plastic surgeon in your budget

Answer: Stretched Ear Lobe Repair Needed Before Going into Military Living in Seattle, we have a lot of experience closing stretched ear lobes!The procedure is performed using a local anesthetic in our procedure room, isn't very painful, and recovery is fairly quick.Definitely, meet with a board ceftified plastic surgeon who has experience closing these types of earlobes because the procedure is technically more challenging than closure of the simple split earlobe piercing.Best of luck to you!
