Earlobe Repair

Earlobe Repair

Cosmetic surgery to repair a torn or disrupted earlobe is a very common procedure. Any piercing puts the earlobe or other parts of the ear at risk for tearing. Gauge earrings are especially notorious for disrupting the tissues but any type of jewelry can cause stretching and tears.

Description

A simple office procedure is required to return the earlobes to normal. This procedure is usually performed in a certified office operating room using local anesthetic. The procedure usually consists of “freshening” the edges of the split and careful placement of sutures to complete the repair and return the earlobe to normal. In more complicated cases, it may be necessary to rebuild the earlobe using tissue from neighboring portions of the ear. This is done with the goal of creating a normal appearing ear even when some tissues have been lost.
