This remains in place for 1-7 days. It is intended to reduce the degree of swelling and the risk of bruising.  <\/p>\n<h4>Threads<\/h4>\n<p>&#8230; behind the ear are removed after approx. 2 weeks, in front of the ear after one week. However, some surgeons generally remove the stitches after just one week. <\/p>\n<h4>Headband<\/h4>\n<p>A headband should be worn 24 hours a day for 2 weeks following ear correction. After that, wearing it at night is sufficient for a further 3-4 weeks. A little more rigor is required for children. Wearing a cap is an advantage here, at least for smaller children, because it does not slip so easily. When correcting the ears of very small children, a bandage with adhesive wraps is often the only way to prevent slippage.    <\/p>\n<h4>Sport<\/h4>\n<p>In order not to jeopardize the result of the ear correction, sports in which bruising of the ear cannot be ruled out should be avoided for 6-12 weeks. This includes team and ball sports. <\/p>\n<h4>Inner threads<\/h4>\n<p>Even if the healing after the ear correction is inconspicuous, the inner stitches can sometimes show through the skin. It is also possible for them to pierce the skin. It is not unusual for them to be palpable. If these stitches cause discomfort, they can be removed without any problems. If they are removed too soon after the ear correction, a recurrence of the protruding ears can be expected.    <\/p>\n<h4>Heat<\/h4>\n<p>During the first 2-3 weeks, excessive <strong>heat<\/strong> from hot baths, saunas or sunlight should be avoided, as this can have a negative effect on healing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-2096\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2096\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">How is the follow-up treatment for earlobe correction in D\u00fcsseldorf carried out?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2096\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2096\"><p>After earlobe correction, a firm <strong>plaster bandage<\/strong> is usually sufficient, which can be designed to be quite inconspicuous (skin-colored plaster).<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>stitches<\/strong> are removed a little later than usual in the face so that the scar has a certain stability.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>new ear hole<\/strong> for initially light jewelry should not be pierced before 6 weeks have passed.

This includes team and ball sports. <\\\/p>\\n<h4>Inner threads<\\\/h4>\\n<p>Even if the healing after the ear correction is inconspicuous, the inner stitches can sometimes show through the skin. It is also possible for them to pierce the skin. It is not unusual for them to be palpable. If these stitches cause discomfort, they can be removed without any problems. If they are removed too soon after the ear correction, a recurrence of the protruding ears can be expected.    <\\\/p>\\n<h4>Heat<\\\/h4>\\n<p>During the first 2-3 weeks, excessive <strong>heat<\\\/strong> from hot baths, saunas or sunlight should be avoided, as this can have a negative effect on healing.<\\\/p>\\n\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How is the follow-up treatment for earlobe correction in D\\u00fcsseldorf carried out?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p>After earlobe correction, a firm <strong>plaster bandage<\\\/strong> is usually sufficient, which can be designed to be quite inconspicuous (skin-colored plaster).<\\\/p>\\n<p>The <strong>stitches<\\\/strong> are removed a little later than usual in the face so that the scar has a certain stability.<\\\/p>\\n<p>A <strong>new ear hole<\\\/strong> for initially light jewelry should not be pierced before 6 weeks have passed.
