Ear corrections

Surgeries can be performed on ears for children from 6 years of age because the cartilage has already formed. Most often ear corrections for children are performed before starting school so that the child does not have to suffer bullying which is most common during the first school years.

Ear corrections are also often chosen by adults. The surgery is comparatively quick and easy – done under local anaesthesia.

The patient can go home immediately after the procedure. Surgery itself is very calm, completely painless (only anaesthesia injections are felt), children often play games or fall asleep.

An elastic bandage must be worn for a week. Afterwards the patient can wash their hair, however, small bruises may hold for 2-3 weeks.

Correction of tunnel and torn holes

If the tunnel hole has reached 8 mm in diameter, there is a very small chance that it will naturally grow back, however if 1.5 cm diameter has been reached, the ear will never have the same shape. This results in a big hole in the earlobe. If the client wishes, this hole can be corrected.

Surgery takes around 20-30 minutes per ear and is done with local anaesthesia. After the surgery small red scars will be visible, however with time the scars will become greyish-white. Earlobes will look completely right in 4-6 months, without any special signs showing that the ears were previously pierced. Only a small, white scar will be seen. Earlobes can be pierced again after 6 months after surgery, but a 5 mm distance from the small scar must be observed.

Correction of torn earlobes is performed to restore earlobes that were torn by earrings, due to trauma or intentionally stretched. Such damages can occur due to wearing heavy or long earrings for prolonged periods of time, and in cases when ear piercings are located too close to each other or too close to the lower part of the earlobe.

To restore the damaged earlobe, a cut is made along the sides of the damaged area, which is then sewn together.
