Earlobe Surgery

Earlobe surgery is a straightforward procedure that can help to repair stretched or torn earlobes. Only local anesthesia is needed and the procedure is commonly performed in under an hour. During your earlobe surgery, the skin lining the tear is removed to create a raw edge that is stitched closed in multiple layers. This reroutes new blood flow and allows your surgeon to reshape a more tight and esthetically pleasing lobe shape.

Earlobe Repair Recovery

After your earlobe reconstruction, there is generally minimal to no pain or downtime. Any discomfort that patients do experience can usually be relieved with over the counter medication. The earlobe will need to be washed regularly and kept clean for a period of time and you may need to apply antibiotic ointment. Surface sutures are usually removed within one week.

Restore and Support

To restore lost volume and provide even more support for earring use in the future, your surgeon may discuss the use of dermal fillers such as Juvederm® or Voluma® injected into the earlobe to provide structure and support.
