Whether from heavy earrings, trauma, or gauges, stretched or torn earlobes are a common cosmetic concern. At Dermatology Solutions, we offer in-office earlobe repair surgery to restore the natural shape and contour of the earlobe with minimal downtime.
What Is Earlobe Repair Surgery?
Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. It is designed to correct:
• Stretched or elongated piercings
• Torn earlobes from accidental trauma
• Sagging lobes from aging or earring wear
• Previous gauge piercings
How Does It Work?
During the procedure:
• The old stretched piercing or elongated portion of the lobe is carefully excised or shortened.
• The remaining tissue is strategically sutured to close the defect and restore a natural shape.
• Fine sutures are used to ensure minimal scarring and optimal cosmetic results.
Recovery and Aftercare
• Sutures are removed in 1 to 2 weeks.
• Patients can return to normal activities the same day.
• A new piercing can be safely placed one month after repair, in a new location away from the scar to prevent recurrence.
