Ear Stapling Acupressure with stapling for smoking cessation and weight loss Acupressure is the practice of applying pressure to a specific part of the human body in order to stimulate a particular organ, gland or other body part for the purpose of alleviating certain health risks. The process is most often used to relieve stress, tension and to promote relaxation and self-control. For several years practitioners have found that by inserting sterile surgical staples into an acupressure point in people's ears, that significant weight loss is often achieved. It is believed that stapling this area of the ears will suppress the appetite and curb certain cravings for food. Anecdotal reports indicate that the staples are effective approximately 80 to 85% of the time. However, there is no way to determine prior to staple insertion whether or not the staple will be effective for any one individual. It may start working immediately or it may take some time. Weight loss of 2 pound sto 10 pounds per month is often reported. Click HERE to fill out our Patient Information Form Frequently Asked Questions... How long should I expect to wait before I see results? Allow at least two weeks. If you do not see results at the end of the 2nd week the staples should be moved, because they may not be correctly positioned in the ear. What should I do if I do not get results? Call our office and schedule an appointment to have the staples repositioned. We will reposition the staple up to 3 times at no additional cost. If you do not see results after 5 tries then it probably won't work for you. What potential problems might occur? This process is very similar to ear piercing and carries about the same risk. Around 5% of all staples inserted become problematic resulting in the need for removal. If your ear becomes painful or if the staple appears tight or the ear is swollen around the staple, then the staple must be REMOVED as soon as possible. If you have concerns call our office immediately and if removal is called for it will be done at no charge. Will I experience any pain? Your ears will be sore for a couple of days. This is similar to having your ears pierced. The area may be slightly red as well. What can I do to insure greater effectiveness? To insure best results you MUST massage the area right below the tip of your cheekbone closest to the opening of the ear, 6 to 8 times a day. (This stimulates pressure points.) What safety precautions should I follow? Follow the instructions labeled "EAR STAPLING - AFTER CARE PROCEDURE" What results should I expect? You may lose anywhere from 2 to 10 pounds in a month. How long should I leave the staples in my ears? Staples should not stay in more than 6 months, if you feel they aren't helping after 2 or more weeks, you can replace the old staples with new. How do I get the staples removed? If you would like to have the staples removed, we would be happy to do this with a special staple removal at no cost. Just call our office for an appointment.
