Can I repierce my ear after cyst removal?

I would apply Plato's Scar Serum twice daily followed by massage therapy for 4 to 6 weeks before you repierce. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Firstly, I would advise you to ask the surgeon who removed the cyst for their opinion.In general if a small cyst was removed form an earlobe I would expect wait a minimum of 3 months and ideally 6 months form when it had fully healed.If you have a scar through the earlobe like you would if a split earlobe was repaired you should not get it pierced through the scar tissue. The scar tissue will not support a piercing which will then probably 'cut out'.Best wishes

I do not recommend  piercing the lobule for at least 6 months after the repair. It needs to be pierced in a different location than the repair

Great Question! Definitely wait until your incision is completely healed. this should take 3 - 6 weeks. I recommend re piercing  after 3 - 6 months to assure no complications occur and most importantly, get the approval from your physician prior!

Dear gracesaycell,I would wait at least 2-3 months for your ear lobe to heal about after cyst removal and to allow the tensile strength of the scar to increase. I would also revisit your surgeon who removed the cyst to evaluate the scar prior to getting it pierced again. Best of luck!

I recommend that you follow up after cyst removal and ask this question to your doctor he can offer the best answer.Generally, I wait 6 weeks and recomend that you avoid the incision line, staying outside of them.  If your doctor does not perform this, you may mark the area and go to a trusted jewler or another doctor.

Wait until at least they potential risk of infection from the cyst has totally cleared and repierce outside of the surgical area around 3 weeks.  If you wish to repierce along the surgical scar I suggest 2-3 months.Warm Regards,Dr Quinton Chivers
