Ear Lobe Repair

Since the earlobe repair surgery involves cartilage and bone tissues, extensive testing is not needed before the surgery. Once a patient is admitted to the hospital for treatment, the surgeon will ask you to go through routine lab tests to ensure the optimal health of the patient. These tests include:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG): This test is used to record and analyse the electrical activity of the patient’s heart and look for any signs of arrhythmias or dysrhythmias.
• Urinalysis: This test is used for diagnosing the presence of any bladder or kidney infection. It is also used to detect any presence of drugs that can cause interference with the earlobe repair treatment. 

WBC (White Blood Cell) Count: This test is used to look for infection or fever. If the count of WBC is higher in the body, it means the body is under an infection, and surgery can be postponed.

• The ears are an important part of the face and are visible to everyone. Any defect on the ears is immediately noticeable by people. Enlarged ear holes can look aesthetically unpleasant to some people.
• Earlobe repair is a daycare operation, and you don't need to stay. The entire treatment takes around an hour.
• It is a straightforward, quick, and painless approach to permanently repair the earlobe.
• You can get your ears pierced again.

Given below are some steps you can follow to prevent ear lobes from enlarging.  

• Wear lighter earrings for your routine wear.
• Avoid wearing Danglers or ornaments that tend to pull down the ear lobe as they move
• Earrings that contain a thin central staff have a tendency to cut through the skin.

As already discussed, an earl is made of cartilage that is covered by skin on both sides. An ear is a complicated structure and has its own 3D orientation. On the other hand, an earlobe is soft and does not have any cartilage support. 

The surgery is performed as a daycare procedure at our Delhi Skin Hospital.

• At first, the doctor does the skin marking to show you the final scar line.
• On the procedure chair, the doctor cleans the ear and it is infiltrated with a local anaesthetic to prevent any pain during the earlobe procedure.
• The extra skin on the inside edge of the larger or split ear opening is carefully removed while the natural contour of the ear is preserved.
• The skin present on the front and back side of the earlobe is approximated with small and fine sutures or skin glue.
• At last, the doctor places a small dressing, and you can come back home.

Before the start of the ear lobe procedure, the doctor and his/her team will provide you with detailed instructions to prepare for the surgery. Some of the common instructions include:

• Get a thorough medical evaluation and carry the reports with you. 
• Provide a list of any medicines and supplements that the patient is taking so that the surgeon can make adjustments to guarantee that these medications do not interfere with the patient's recovery. 
• Stop smoking, as it can interfere with healing, and abstain from alcohol for at least one day before surgery. 
• Don't take any blood thinners or other recreational drugs. 
• Request someone to join you on the day of surgery. 
• Wear loose garments that are easy to remove.
• Eat a light meal and drink plenty of water. Fasting is only necessary for 2 hours prior to the treatment.
