Did you know that Ear piercing is not just for enhancing our looks,
but has its origins in science? Ear piercing at an early age is linked to better brain development as the meridian point that connects the
right hemisphere of the brain to the left one, is in the ear lobes. Piercing this point helps activate these parts of the brain.
Pain or discomfort during and after ear piercing is a very subjective experience and varies from person to person. It is also highly dependent on the type of ear piercing method used, and of course,
the person doing it. Though most salons offer the service nowadays, there is nothing better than approaching an ENT specialist or
Ear surgeon for a more professional and safe experience.
Also, post-piercing care and followup is something you would get only from a practicing ENT doctor.
Dr. Shree Rao, Ear Surgeon who handles even the most complicated of ear surgeries says she derives a lot of happiness when parents from even outside Hyderabad, where she practices, seek her out and travel long distances to get their children’s ears pierced.
She puts this down to an absolutely empathetic, skillful, totally safe and professional approach.
WHY IS IT BETTER TO GET EAR PIERCING DONE BY AN EAR SURGEON?
A micro Ear Surgeon like Dr. Shree Rao would have years of experience in handling not only the smallest of areas of the human body, but also the youngest of age groups.
Apart from precision born of years of surgical practice, a doctor would apply a topical numbing cream about 30 to 40 minutes before the piercing to help numb the pain receptors in the ear lobes. Dr. Shree Rao’s calming talk and friendly approach is an added bonus, especially in babies and children, to reduce anxiety.
Also, a professional doctor would follow safety protocols by default. Gloved hands, cleaning of earlobes with alcohol pads, individual sterile ear piercer are all a given when you entrust your child with a surgeon like Dr. Shree Rao.
