Ear piercing correction

Ear piercing correction is useful for stretched, torn, or severely stretched ear piercings—often caused by wearing heavy jewelry, accidents, or tunnel stretching. The aim is to surgically restore the natural shape and function of the earlobe.

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The damaged tissue is removed, the earlobe is reconstructed in its natural shape, and closed with fine sutures. The treatment takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the side.

After the procedure, slight swelling or tightness is to be expected. The stitches are removed after 7 to 14 days. The final result is visible after about 4 to 6 weeks, depending on skin type and aftercare.

As a rule, only a fine, barely visible scar remains. Consistent UV protection, scar care, and good wound healing can further improve the cosmetic result.

After 12 weeks at the earliest, depending on individual healing. We recommend having the new ear piercing done under medical supervision to achieve the best aesthetic result.

Slight swelling, redness, or small bruises are normal and usually subside within a few days. Infections or wound healing disorders are rare and can be treated effectively.

The correction is suitable for anyone who suffers from changes in their ear holes. Alternatively, minimally invasive tissue tightening can also be considered for minor changes. We will be happy to advise you individually.
