Earlobe damage is a common issue that can result from heavy earrings, trauma, or stretched piercings. Whether your earlobes have torn, elongated, or developed unsightly scars, earlobe repair can restore their natural shape and appearance. While some patients consider visiting a general practitioner or dermatologist for this procedure, seeing a facial plastic surgeon offers distinct advantages.

Why Do Earlobes Become Damaged?

  • Several factors contribute to earlobe damage, including:
  • Torn or Stretched Piercings: Heavy earrings, gauges, or accidental tugs can stretch or tear the delicate earlobe skin.
  • Aging and Skin Elasticity Loss: Over time, the skin loses collagen, making the earlobes thinner and more prone to sagging or damage.
  • Trauma or Injury: Sudden force or repetitive stress can lead to partial or complete tears in the earlobe.

Custom Treatment Experience

Each earlobe repair case is a custom individual process. Some patients require minor sutures, while others may need tissue grafting or reshaping. A skilled facial plastic surgeon tailors the procedure to your specific needs, ensuring optimal results.

Quick and Effective Procedure

Earlobe repair is a relatively quick, in-office procedure performed under local anesthesia. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities the same day. Within a few weeks, the earlobes heal, and re-piercing can be considered.
