Ear restitching is a medical procedure that is performed to repair a torn or stretched earlobe. The procedure is commonly performed on individuals who have had their earrings ripped out or on those who have stretched earlobes due to the use of heavy earrings or gauges. The procedure involves cutting away the damaged tissue and then suturing the earlobe back together. The procedure can be done under local anesthesia and typically takes less than an hour to complete. After the procedure, patients may experience some pain, swelling, and bruising, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses. Patients may also need to avoid wearing earrings or other jewelry for several weeks while the ear heals. It's important to consult with a medical professional to determine the best treatment plan for your individual situation, as the appropriate treatment may vary depending on the extent of the damage to the earlobe. In some cases, alternative procedures such as earlobe reconstruction or reshaping may be recommended to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
