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: Stretched earlobe repair Earlobe surgery is composed of several techniques that can either repair torn earlobes (split earlobes) or correct overly redundant earlobe tissue from piercings or genetics or stretching. Our HIDEF earlobe repair includes a recontouring of the earlobe contour using multilayered sutures to reapproximate the curvature of the earlobe; while simultaneously restoring contour to the ear. In patients with pixie ears after facelift surgery, an alternate technique is used to reduce the dependance of the earlobe on the facelift flap. Facelift surgery can reshape the earlobe and this requires restoration. Sutures are usually taken out within 10 days and the wound is repierced in 4-6 weeks thereafter. Keloid scars must be addressed in patients with known history for scarring.

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!
