What is Earlobe Repair?

Earlobe Repair is a surgery that fixes earlobes that are stretched or torn. This can happen if the earlobe is stressed with gauges or heavy earrings. To fix the earlobe, it might need to be reshaped or rebuilt.

After years of damage…

What can earlobe repair do?

Restoring the look of the earlobe and enhancing the appearance of the ear as a whole are both benefits that come with having an earlobe repair done. If the earlobe has been badly stretched or torn, which can make it difficult to use certain types of earrings or earbuds, an earlobe repair may be able to enhance the function of the earlobe as well as improve the appearance of the earlobe. If you have a ripped or strained earlobe and are otherwise in excellent health, you are considered a suitable candidate for earlobe repair.

Normal Contours

Earlobe Repair Preparation and Procedure

Earlobe repair can be performed under local anesthetic. Incisions remove the old scar tissue surrounding previous piercings, plugs, or gages. The ear lobe is then reconstructed to create normal contours. A small paper tape dressing is applied, and discharge back to work or home is possible.

Healing Procedure

Earlobe Repair Recovery, Results, and Aftercare

Over-the-counter pain medications are adequate if desired but rarely used following Earlobe Repair. Swelling and bruising are uncommon. The dressing and sutures are removed in one week. Incision cleaning and ointment application are occasionally required for a few more days after suture removal. Normal activities can be restarted immediately, except for those that may result in direct trauma or submersion underwater. The final result is present in a couple of weeks, and the piercing can be performed in six weeks.

Maintaining your earlobe repair results

After your Earlobe Repair procedure, Dr. Brobst will provide you with instructions for caring for your earlobes, like not wearing heavy earrings or gauging your ears again.
