Yes, re-piercing is possible—but timing is important. Most patients can re-pierce their ears after 6 to 8 weeks, once full healing has occurred. Our surgeons will guide you on the ideal placement and timing to prevent future tearing.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so patients generally feel no pain during the process. Post-procedure discomfort is minimal and usually manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
Scarring is typically minimal and fades over time. Our surgeons use meticulous suturing techniques to ensure the most discreet and natural-looking outcome possible. In most cases, scars become barely noticeable with proper care.
