COIN SLOT

WHEN PIERCINGS NEED A FRAME

A STATEMENT IN CARTILAGE

A coin slot is a special form of body modification in which a narrow slot is created in the upper rim of the ear (helix). For this, a small piece of cartilage is removed, and the surrounding skin is precisely sutured so that a defined opening is formed.

Multiple piercings can later be worn stacked within this slot.

TECHNIQUE

Using sterile instruments, a precisely measured area of cartilage is removed from the ear helix. The skin is then sutured in such a way that a narrow channel is formed, which heals into a permanent slot. Once fully healed, multiple pieces of jewelry can be worn vertically within this slot – either symmetrically or offset.

The procedure is performed under hygienic conditions comparable to those of a surgical clinic.

The exact design of the coin slot depends on the customer’s wishes, but is also largely determined by individual anatomy. What is desired and what is possible will be discussed in detail during several preliminary consultations, on site, by phone, and via email.

RISKS

As with any surgical procedure, there is always a risk of bleeding and infection. To minimize these risks, we use locally applied agents to reduce bleeding during the procedure, special suturing techniques, and adhere to the highest possible hygiene standards.

GENERAL INFORMATIONS BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT

Before the procedure, you should wash your hair at home, as this is not recommended for at least 4–5 days after the operation.

On the day of the procedure, you should ideally avoid consuming caffeine, nicotine, or alcohol beforehand.

Blood-thinning medication should, if necessary, be discontinued after consultation with us.

It is best to arrive well-rested, having eaten and drunk sufficiently before the procedure.

DRESSING & SUTURES

During the procedure, sutures are used that need to be removed approximately 10–12 days later. At the end of the procedure, a thin dressing is applied, which should not be removed until the sutures are taken out.

24H BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT

Do not take any blood-thinning medications, e.g. aspirin (ASS)
No drugs/alcohol
No extended sunbathing before the appointment; if you have sunburn on your ears, the appointment must be rescheduled

PLEASE CANCEL YOUR APPOINTMENT, IF…

you are under ongoing medical treatment (please consult with us)
you have recently been vaccinated
you are pregnant

AFTER THE SURGERY

Smoking, drinking alcohol, and anything else that significantly increases blood pressure (e.g. heavy lifting, stress, sports) should be avoided for at least one week.

The same applies to wearing helmets, hats, tight headscarves, and other head coverings that cover the ears and may put pressure on the freshly operated ears.
