What Is Earlobe Repair Used For?
Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure designed to restore the natural contour and integrity of the earlobe. Over time, earlobes can become stretched, split, or misshapen due to wearing heavy earrings, accidental tears, or the use of ear gauges. Many patients choose earlobe repair for cosmetic reasons, while others seek the procedure to make re-piercing possible or to improve comfort and appearance.
Common concerns treated with earlobe repair include:
- Torn or completely split earlobes
- Elongated piercing holes
- Stretched lobes from gauges or heavy earrings
- Asymmetrical or misshapen earlobes
- Scarring or irregularities from past trauma
How Does Earlobe Repair Work?
This treatment is typically performed in-office under local anesthesia and takes about 20 to 30 minutes per earlobe. During the procedure, the damaged tissue is gently removed, and the earlobe is carefully reconstructed using fine sutures to ensure a natural shape. The sutures are typically removed after 5–7 days, and the scar usually fades significantly over time.
The procedure is minimally invasive, and downtime is minimal. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, though we advise avoiding earrings or trauma to the area during healing. Re-piercing is generally possible after the lobe has fully healed, typically within 6–8 weeks.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results from earlobe repair are long-lasting and often permanent. Once healed, the earlobe maintains its restored appearance, with little to no visible scarring in most cases. Patients are often surprised by how natural and refined their ears look post-procedure.
