Can I get an industrial piercing after getting an ear otoplasty operation? (Photo)

The incisions for the most common issues with otoplasty surgery are usually behind the ear and would be away from the piercing.  Usually, the antihelical fold of the ear is recreated and the ear is also brought closer to the head.  If this is the case with your operation, the piercing should still be ok.  If it is a surgery to recreate the helical rim, that may be an issue.

The incisions used for otoplasty is farther away from the area off industrial piercing.  Once the healing is complete in about 3 months you can undergo the ear piercing.RegardsDr. J

Think twice about the piercing. Those cartilage piercings are really a bear when they get infected. They are much more of a problem than the lobe piercings. I've had a couple of patients who required inpatient stays with IV antibiotics for this.I would have my patients wait a year before considering this.
