What is Earlobe Repair?

Earlobe Repair is an outpatient reconstruction cosmetic surgery to restore the appearance of your earlobe. If you want to fix your stretched or torn earlobe, an earlobe repair is your go-to fix for stretched or torn skin. Your earlobe repair surgery will depend on the extent of your damage. For tears or holes that are relatively small and your earlobe shape remains intact, you may be considered an ideal candidate to use fillers to repair your gap. Larger holes require excessive skin and tissue to be removed before your earlobe is repaired to its original shape.

Earlobe Repair Procedure

Your surgical repair is specific to the size and shape of the gap that needs to be repaired. The elasticity of your skin is another factor that will determine Dr. Stark’s exact procedure.

Performed as outpatient surgery, you will use a topical or regional anesthetic so you will have no trouble returning home the same day. For minor repairs, the use of fillers is an optimal feature that allows your body to heal naturally. Again, your procedure is customized based on your earlobe repair needs.

In some cases, Dr. Stark may remove a layer of skin from inside your ear to diminish the gap and use sutures to keep it closed. Extensive repair requires removing excess skin to form a more natural earlobe shape. Even with significant repairs, you are still only receiving a regional anesthetic. Dr. Stark uses sutures and skin adhesive to secure the earlobe into its proper position to close the gap.

NATURAL

Earlobe Repair Recovery

You may experience swelling and tenderness in the area. Dr. Stark will provide a post-operative plan to inform you of how to keep the area and stitches clean and manage any discomfort you feel. Recovery time differs for each patient. Follow your aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Earlobe Repair FAQs

Will it hurt?

Earlobe repair cost will vary for each patient and depends on the extent of damage needing repair. Dr. Stark will discuss the cost with you during your consultation.
