What is Earlobe Repair?

We define earlobe repair as a minor surgical procedure designed to correct torn, stretched, or deformed earlobes. Through precise techniques, we restore shape, symmetry, and strength to the earlobe tissue.

Overview

We begin with a detailed consultation to evaluate the extent of damage, discuss your aesthetic goals and choose the best repair technique. Our evidence-based approach ensures safety, comfort and minimal downtime.

Causes:

  • Torn or split earlobes from earrings catching on clothing or hair
  • Overstretched lobes due to heavy or large-gauge jewelry
  • Accidental trauma or piercings that heal poorly
  • Age-related thinning of earlobe tissue

Solutions:

  • Primary repair for simple tears
  • Reconstruction with local tissue flaps for larger defects
  • Graft placement when native tissue is insufficient
  • Secondary repair for recurrent or complex deformities

Types of Earlobe Repair

  • Direct closure for straight-forward tears
  • Local flap reconstruction for more tissue support
  • Composite grafting using skin from behind the ear

Types of Treatments

  • Suture-only techniques for minimal scarring
  • Flap-based methods to preserve blood supply
  • Microscopic grafts to rebuild earlobe shape

Types of Stages

  • Assessment and planning
  • Surgical correction under local anesthesia
  • Post-operative monitoring and dressing
  • Follow-up care and scar management

Surgery Procedures and Recovery Time

We perform earlobe repair under local anesthesia in a single session lasting 30–45 minutes.

  • Immediate post-op: light pressure dressing for 24 hours
