Choosing the correct earlobe plastic technique: what does it depend on

The choice of earlobe plasty technique depends on which particular aesthetic defect needs to be corrected:

• if there is scar tissue, it is excised, and then the incision is sutured using threads that do not cause tissue hypertrophy;
• if it is necessary to reduce the earlobe, the excess tissue is excised from the inside, after which a suture is applied there.

Often, an earlobe plasty is a rather short operation that lasts from 30 to 60 minutes, while the patient is only given local anesthesia.

Recommendations for the patient after earlobe plastic surgery

After earlobe plasty, the sutures are removed approximately 7-10 days after the operation. During this period, the lobes will be somewhat swollen and painful, and hematomas may also form, so the patient may be prescribed painkillers and antibacterial drugs.

• for several days, do not touch the earlobes, wet them with water or injure them in any way;
• it is necessary to exclude visiting the sauna, bath, beach, and so on, in order to prevent the development of an infectious process;
• it is important to avoid any mechanical impact on the skin in the area of ​​the earlobes;
• ear piercing is prohibited for at least 3 months after surgery.
