Restore the Shape and Appearance of Your Earlobes
Over time, earrings, accidental pulls, or gauge piercings can cause the earlobes to stretch, tear, or split completely. Earlobe repair is a brief in office surgical procedure that reshapes and reconstructs the earlobe to restore its natural contour and function.
Dr. Jared Goldfarb, MD combines advanced surgical techniques with an artistic approach to create results that look natural and repair the ear lobe. Most procedures are completed in less than an hour using local anesthesia, allowing you to return home the same day.
Common Reasons for Earlobe Repair
You may be a candidate for earlobe repair if you have:
- Partially or completely torn earlobes
- Stretched or enlarged piercing holes
- Damage from heavy earrings
- Split earlobes caused by trauma or injury
- Earlobes altered by gauges or plugs
What to Expect
Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Goldfarb will evaluate your earlobes, discuss your concerns, and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Procedure
Earlobe repair is typically performed under local anesthesia numbing in the office. The damaged tissue is carefully removed, and the earlobe is meticulously reshaped and sutured to achieve a smooth, natural appearance in multiple layers to provide a natural appearance with strong structure.
Recovery
Recovery is generally quick and straightforward. Mild swelling or redness is common for a few days. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately, with only minor restrictions during healing.
Re-Piercing After Earlobe Repair
Many patients choose to have their ears re-pierced after healing is complete. In most cases, re-piercing can be performed several weeks to a few months after the repair, depending on your surgeon's recommendations and your individual healing process.
