After ear surgery, it is generally recommended to avoid wearing earrings or other jewelry on or near the surgical site until the incisions have fully healed. This is to prevent any irritation or complications that may arise from pressure or friction on the healing tissue. It is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions and consult with them about when it is safe to resume wearing earrings or other jewelry.
