This can be improved with a combination of revision and/or lasers and microneedling/prp. I recommend getting a formal consultation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I would suggest piercing scar revision on the earlobes followed by repiercing a few months later. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Thank you for posting your question. Scars resulted from ear piercing are not uncommon and can be improved through excision, laser, or a combination of treatment. You can get your ears re-pierced after the scars have healed. Best of luck.
