Dr. Ransom performed surgery on my stretched lobes...
Dr. Ransom performed surgery on my stretched lobes.
I had stretched my lobes to a maximum of 5/8" over the course of a few years, then stopped wearing jewelry in them for approximately 8 years. The holes had retracted naturally a bit, but they were still about 5mm wide when stretched open. I wanted to be able to wear standard-issue earrings again, and Dr. Ransom's reviews and convenient Fidi location led me to a consultation with him.
I'm thrilled with the results of the procedure and the experience was overall excellent. The one-time price covered several office visits (initial consultation, surgery, stitch removal, fraxel laser treatment, another follow-up visit to check on how the scars were healing, and finally the re-piercing YAY!). Dr. Ransom cares deeply about achieving an aesthetically great result, and he explained his plan to me every step of the way, from the precise shape of the cuts he'd make (the ears were slightly different and required different approaches), to the healing process for the scars.
The procedure itself was quick and painless; aftercare was a breeze. He monitored the healing process closely and I was pleasantly surprised at how much he helped me reduce the scarring afterward, including the fraxel laser treatment, for which I was not charged beyond the initial payment. He was prepared to do more follow-up treatments if necessary.
Dr. Ransom even did an incredible job on the re-piercing. I have secondary piercings just above where I wanted them re-pierced, and I had been worried about getting these to be evenly placed, because the scars were in slightly different locations. This was no problem for him whatsoever and he managed to place the piercings exactly how I had hoped.
A year after the initial surgical procedure, it's very difficult to tell in person that my lobes were ever stretched, particularly if you're observing from a conversational distance. The new piercings are placed so well, and I'm loving the freedom to wear all the cute earrings I can find. I'd recommend Dr. Ransom and his delightful office staff to anyone considering this procedure. It's absolutely worth it.
