Question 1

What is an earlobe correction?

Accepted Answer

In an earlobe correction, the doctor restores or enhances the shape of your earlobe. Think of a torn or stretched earlobe, a saggy hole, or an earlobe that you perceive as too large or out of shape. It is a minor procedure under local anesthesia, aimed at a natural, well-groomed result.

Question 2

Why do people choose to have an earlobe correction?

Accepted Answer

Usually it is about a torn or stretched earlobe, for example due to heavy earrings, a tunnel, or an accident where an earring was torn out. A naturally large earlobe or a stretched hole can also be a reason. Whatever your reason, during your intake, the doctor will look with you at the best approach.

Question 3

What types of earlobe corrections are there?

Accepted Answer

The most common are suturing a fully torn earlobe, reducing a stretched hole, and aesthetically reducing or retouching the earlobe itself. Which one suits you depends on the situation and your desire. The doctor assesses this during a free consultation.

Question 4

For whom is the treatment suitable?

Accepted Answer

For anyone with a torn, stretched, or bothersome earlobe who wants a neat solution for it. The procedure is suitable for both men and women. Whether an earlobe correction is the right choice for you, the doctor determines during the intake.

Question 5

How does the procedure go?

Accepted Answer

Under local anesthesia, the doctor removes the excess or damaged tissue and neatly stitches the earlobe into the desired shape. The procedure is small and generally short. You discuss in detail beforehand what you can expect from the procedure and the result.

Question 6

Does an earlobe correction hurt?

Accepted Answer

Thanks to the local anesthesia, you feel little to nothing during the procedure itself. Afterwards, the earlobe may feel sensitive or swollen for a few days, which is completely normal. Your doctor will tell you exactly how to make the recovery as comfortable as possible.

Question 7

How is the recovery going?

Accepted Answer

The first few days, the earlobe may be a bit sensitive, red, or swollen, which gradually subsides. The stitches are usually removed after about one to two weeks. It's wise to keep the earlobe clean and avoid sleeping on that ear for a while. You will receive clear aftercare advice from us.

Question 8

Can I have my ears pierced again afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that is usually possible again, but it is important to let the earlobe fully heal first. It is often recommended to wait several months and to position the new hole slightly differently than the old one. Your doctor will advise you on this during follow-up care.

Question 9

Are there any scars left?

Accepted Answer

The doctor places the suture so that the scar is as small and inconspicuous as possible. In the first months, it may still be a bit redder, after which it will fade. During your intake, the doctor will discuss what this looks like for your situation.

Question 10

How safe is the procedure and what are the risks?

Accepted Answer

An earlobe correction is a small, generally safe procedure performed at Soap by experienced, specialized doctors. As with any surgery, there are small risks, such as temporary swelling, a small scar, or a slight change in shape. During your intake, the doctor will honestly discuss what you can expect and what is realistic.
