Hello, earlobe surgery recovery is usually a few days, with minimum pain. I remove sutures after one week. For further inquiries or questions, you may want to visit my website at DrRoyamd@aol.com. Good Luck!!!!
Earlobe reduction surgery is a fairly benign procedure performed under local anesthesia in the office. I usually allow these patients to return to work the same day or certainly the next day and normal activities including exercise in two days.
Good luck.
Local anesthesia, back to work that day, sutures out about a week.

6-8 weeks
Average recovery time is approximately 1 week. However some patients require slightly longer. Furthermore, it is not abnormal to close the existing ear piercing holes and have to re-pierce the ears 6 weeks after the procedure.
