Torn earlobes or the desire to sew up ear tunnels are common in plastic surgery. It is a minor procedure, but it should be planned, discussed and carried out as precisely as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to sew up torn ear lobes and ear tunnels?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Whether it's correcting pierced earlobes, correcting flesh tunnels or stretched ear tunnels - the options for correcting them are as varied as the shape of the earlobes. We are happy to offer you all methods for earlobe correction. Even torn earlobes can be corrected gently and harmoniously. The scar design is very individual and is analyzed and determined in detail with us before the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sew up torn ear lobes and ear tunnels - then:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As with any operation, you should take it easy for yourself and your wound for about 2-3 weeks. After an earlobe correction, the scar will never be as stable as it was originally. Therefore, the basic rule is: do not pierce new ears until 2-3 months after the corrective operation and at a distance of 2-3mm from the scar.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
Synonyms, common problems<\/strong>: Correction of torn earlobes (mostly caused by earrings), correction of scars in the earlobe area after tunneling, correction of overly large earlobes<\/p>\n
principle<\/strong>: Optimization of mostly torn earlobes, but also after wearing tunnels or piercings for a long time, in some cases just to reduce the size of the earlobe<\/p>\n
works very well - you exchange the torn, tunneled, or too large or too long earlobe for a scar (usually not very noticeable) - This scar is still unstable in the first few weeks after the operation - and basically remains a weak point forever.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n

repetition of the treatment<\/h3>\n
Basically, an earlobe correction is designed for 1x.<\/p>\n
A final result can only be spoken of after at least one year.<\/p>\n
Repeating the treatment beforehand is not necessarily recommended.<\/p>\n

planning afterwards<\/strong> \u2013 the scar will always remain a weak point. Therefore, no fresh ear piercings should be done in the first few weeks (depending on the healing process and the stability of the wound). And after this time, always keep a certain minimum distance of 2-3mm from the weak point (scar)<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n

What should you have heard\/read before an earlobe correction?<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Asymmetry:<\/strong> Whenever there are two sides, there will always be an asymmetry before and after treatment. No two halves of the face are the same, and eye sockets often differ by a few millimeters in height. It is impossible and unrealistic to promise a symmetrical result. But of course the goal is always to achieve the most symmetrical result possible.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n

Deadlines must be met in Austria (surgical information and anesthesia information) \u2013 this means that there is a waiting period of at least 3-4 weeks from the decision to undergo earlobe correction, but often longer.<\/p>\n
THINKING POSITIVELY \u2013 helps. It not only prolongs life, but is also always a good first step towards any treatment or operation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n
