Piercing Repair at a Glance

  • Clinical Experience Since 2008 – Dr Ehsan Jadoon has been performing surgical removal of unwanted skin piercings since 2008.
  • Careful Surgical Technique – A precise approach is used to remove the piercing tract and close the area, with the aim of minimising visible scarring. Treatment performed in the clinic. Hospitalisation not needed. 
  • Individualised Assessment and Care – Each piercing is assessed to determine the appropriate surgical approach based on its location, size and the condition of the surrounding tissue.

Skin piercings can sometimes leave a persistent opening, stretched tissue or a visible scar after jewellery is removed. Depending on the location and extent of the piercing, the opening may not close completely on its own and may remain noticeable.

At Medaesthetics, Dr Jadoon has been performing surgical removal of unwanted skin piercings since 2008. The procedure involves assessing the piercing and surrounding tissue, removing the tract where appropriate and carefully closing the area to support healing and minimise the risk of noticeable scarring.

The appropriate technique depends on factors such as the piercing’s location, size, age and any existing scar tissue. During your consultation, Dr Jadoon will discuss the procedure, expected healing, potential risks, alternatives and likely outcome. Although careful surgical technique can help reduce the risk of visible scarring, some scarring is possible and results vary between individuals.

How Piercing Repair Works

This is a minor in-clinic procedure. After numbing the area with local anaesthetic, the treating doctor removes the scar tissue around the unwanted or damaged piercing tract and closes the skin with fine sutures so it can heal naturally. It can be performed on the ears, nose, lips, navel and other areas.

Piercing Repair Sessions, Recovery & Aftercare

This is generally a single in-clinic procedure, with a follow-up appointment to remove sutures where needed. Whether a piercing can be repaired or closed depends on its size and location and is assessed at your consultation.

The procedure usually takes around 30–45 minutes.

Once the area is numbed with local anaesthetic the procedure is generally well tolerated.

Initial healing usually takes about 10–14 days (1–2 weeks),

The aim is to help minimise the appearance of scarring; some scarring can occur but is usually minimal and fades over time or can be treated using fractional CO2 laser.

Once healed, closing the piercing is intended to be long-lasting.

Normal daily activities are generally fine after about 24 hours; avoid gym and strenuous activity until sutures are removed.

You will be given aftercare instructions, including how to keep the site clean and dry, what signs of infection to watch for, and when to return for suture removal if needed.

  1. Consultation and Assessment – Dr Jadoon assesses the piercing, surrounding tissue and any existing scar tissue to determine the appropriate surgical approach.
  2. Clinical Photography and Consent – Clinical photographs may be taken before and after the procedure, with your informed consent, to document the area and monitor healing.
  3. Local Anaesthesia – Local anaesthetic is administered to numb the treatment area.
  4. Surgical Removal – The piercing tract and any unsuitable tissue are carefully removed using an appropriate surgical technique.
  5. Wound Closure – The area is closed with appropriate sutures, aiming to support healing and minimise visible scarring.

Potential risks and side effects include infection (rare), delayed wound healing (rare), and under-correction (rare). As with any procedure, some scarring can occur; it is usually minimal and fades over time, but this varies between individuals.

Choosing a doctor for skin piercing removal surgery is an important decision. Look for a suitably qualified medical practitioner with relevant surgical experience and a clear understanding of the anatomy and healing process.

Piercing Repair FAQs

The treating doctor numbs the area, removes the scar tissue around the piercing, and closes the skin with fine sutures so it can heal.

Once the area is numbed with local anaesthetic it is generally well tolerated.

Initial healing usually takes about 10–14 days, with a follow-up for suture removal where needed.

It can be performed on the ears, nose, lips, navel and other piercing sites. Whether a specific piercing can be repaired is assessed at consultation.

Some scarring may occur following surgery, although it is often minimal and may fade over time. Individual healing and results vary. If you wish to improve the appearance of residual scarring, fractional CO₂ laser treatment may be considered after the area has healed, following an individual assessment.
