Gauged Ear/Earlobe Repair – Patient 217

A woman in her early 30’s with bilateral gauges who no longer likes the appearance. She shared with me that her mother and fiancé are both thrilled now that she has normal, attractive earlobes after her gauges repair. Her fiancé said this was the only thing that he would have wished to change about her. She is shown before and again, 3 months after gauges repair and again, just after repiercing in the office. Scars are typically at their thickest and reddest at 6 weeks and then fade and improve over the next 2 years. She sleeps on her right side and even though she protected these with bandaids while sleeping for the first 6 weeks, that scar is slightly thicker and redder at this early stage.
