WHEN CAN I RE-PIERCE MY EARS AFTER AN EAR LOBE REPAIR?

WHAT TYPE OF ANESTHESIA IS PREFERRED FOR AN EAR LOBE REPAIR OR OTOPLASTY?

An ear lobe repair or otoplasty is best done entirely under local anesthesia. This is the preferred method as during the ear lobe repair or otoplasty procedure the patient can see the result in real time and request more or less of an adjustment. If desired, the ear lobe repair or otoplasty can always be done under IV sedation or general anesthesia as well.
