MBBS, MS - General Surgery

Personalised care, natural-looking results

Who Is a Good Candidate

  • ✓Keloid scars on or around the ear, commonly following piercing or minor trauma
  • ✓Understanding that keloids have a meaningful chance of recurrence and need combined post-surgical treatment
  • ✓Good general skin health

Procedure Details

Performed under local anesthesia. The keloid is surgically excised, and to reduce the notably high recurrence risk of ear keloids, this is typically combined with adjunct treatment such as steroid injection, pressure earrings/clips, or occasionally low-dose radiotherapy in select cases. Surgery itself typically takes 20-45 minutes.

Recovery Timeline

  1. Day 1-7 Wound care as advised; sutures placed if excision was used.
  2. Week 2-6 Adjunct treatment (pressure device, injections) begins/continues to reduce recurrence risk.
  3. Month 3-12 Extended monitoring for early signs of recurrence, since keloids can regrow over this period.

Risks & Complications

As with any procedure, individual risk depends on your health history and will be discussed fully during consultation.

  • !Recurrence - the most significant risk with ear keloids, sometimes requiring repeat treatment
  • !Infection
  • !Discomfort from pressure devices/earrings used to prevent recurrence
  • !Changes in skin color or texture at the treated site

Dr. Karan Ratna Pradhan's Approach

Dr. Pradhan's practice is built on the principle that plastic and reconstructive surgery should look natural, not "done." Every consultation starts with listening to what you want to change and why, followed by an honest discussion of what this procedure can and can't achieve for your specific anatomy, with techniques adapted case-by-case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the keloid come back after removal?
Ear keloids have a real chance of recurrence, which is why surgery is usually combined with pressure therapy and/or injections rather than surgery alone.
How long do I need to wear a pressure earring/clip?
This is typically continued for several months after surgery, as advised, since consistent pressure meaningfully reduces recurrence risk.
Is it safe to get my ears pierced again afterward?
This carries a real risk of triggering another keloid and is generally discussed carefully before deciding.
