The earlobe repair procedure is in 3 phases. They include:
Perioperative

It is the initial step in the process. Before the surgery, our cosmetic surgeons will inquire about your concerns, objectives, and anticipations. Then, our surgeons will examine you. In addition, the surgeon will need you to undergo a series of medical exams to determine your physical fitness for the procedure. Furthermore, our surgeons will advise you to stop using certain medications, such as aspirin, and to quit smoking.

Intraoperative

The procedure is performed with local anesthesia administered to the surgical site. It makes the process pain-free and easy for you. Afterward, your ear is cleaned and marked with a skin marker. Our surgeons will cut along the line of the marked skin. If required, scars on your ear may be removed to allow for good closure. Next, the excess earlobe skin is removed with care and precision, and the earlobe is sutured.

Postoperative

After the procedure, you will be transported to a recovery room to recuperate. If dissolvable sutures are not used, the sutures will be removed a week after the surgery. In addition, your surgeons will instruct you on properly caring for the surgical site. In addition, they will prescribe medications that will hasten your recovery. You should fully recover from the surgery in a few weeks.
