This requres an o-erationwhich can be done under local anesthesia, The ear lobe can be repierced after it is healed. Avois heavy earrings or the problem will recurr.

I suggest that you do not wear earing which is too heavy.

Good day and thank you for your questions. Dr. Monasebian, our Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, will answer your questions. He is also trained in Maxillofacial surgery and has worked over 30 years in treating the face. Dr. Monasebian would have to see you and examine your ear and earlobe. To close the earlobe hole usually requires a surgical procedure to remove the skin that has formed inside lining the hole. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia and may be covered by your medical insurance carrier if deemed medically necessary. We would be happy to see you if you are in the New York City area. We look forward to meeting you soon.

Regards, Dr. Monasebian and Park Avenue Plastic Surgery.
