I just had a keloid removed 2 days ago and was told to get a pressure earring and get silcone sheets as well. When should I start wearing the pressure earring and sheets? I will be returning to the doctor in a month to start steroid shots.

Earlobe surgery can be performed to reshape your earlobes to make them more proportionate. If you’d like to make your earlobes bulkier, they can be reshaped once you’ve recovered from this initial procedure.
