Ears can be pierced if there are no earlobes.

The absence of earlobes is very rare clinically. What ordinary people call no earlobes means that the earlobes are relatively small. However, there is still skin tissue involved at the lower end, so you can consider making a hole at this location. Nowadays, it is very common to pierce the ear including the cartilage, and it is not necessary to pierce the earlobe.

However, it is recommended that you must follow aseptic procedures when piercing your ears, and find a professional teacher to pierce your ears instead of going to an outside barber shop or beauty salon. Because if the ear piercing becomes infected, firstly, it will not heal well, and secondly, it will easily cause scarring. If the hypertrophic scars are more obvious, they can also lead to keloids.

Precautions after ear piercing

1. After ear piercing, the earlobe should be kept dry and clean for 7 to 10 days. Avoid contact with sewage and dirt when washing your face and hair, avoid squeezing your ears when sleeping, and keep your ear holes dry and ventilated.

2. Keep rotating the ear needles every day to avoid adhesion between the ear needles and the skin and promote wound healing.

3. Disinfect with 75% alcohol 1-2 times a day after surgery. Vitamin C can also be taken orally to help wound healing.

4. Do not fasten the ear acupuncture and needle holder too tightly, otherwise it will easily cause swelling. It is best to leave a certain gap.

5. After piercing your ears, do not take off the earrings for about six weeks.

6. If there is inflammation or infection after piercing, you should seek medical advice as soon as possible.
