Earlobe Repair
Enhance Your Natural Beauty

Earlobe repair is a specialized procedure designed to correct damage to the earlobes, such as tears, stretching, or irregular shapes caused by trauma, heavy earrings, or gauges. At Bespoke Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, we offer safe and effective solutions to restore the natural appearance of your earlobes.

What Is a Earlobe Repair?

Earlobe repair is a simple, in-office procedure that restores stretched, torn, or split earlobes. Whether your earlobes have become elongated over time or completely torn, this quick surgical fix can reshape and restore their natural contour. Performed under local anesthesia, earlobe repair involves carefully removing damaged tissue and suturing the area for a clean, natural-looking result. Recovery is minimal, and ears can often be re-pierced after healing. If you're looking to refresh your appearance or wear earrings again with confidence, earlobe repair is a safe and effective option.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Earlobe repair is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia in the office. The process involves:

Assessment: During the consultation, Dr. Clarke evaluates the damage and discusses your aesthetic goals.

Repair: The damaged tissue is carefully removed or reshaped, the tissue is realigned and precise sutures are used to close the incision. You could have dissolving sutures, sutures that need to be removed or a combination of both.

Healing: The procedure typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, and stitches are removed after about seven to ten days.

Recovery and Aftercare

Mild swelling and discomfort are normal after the procedure and subside within a few days. Over the counter pain medications can help with the discomfort.

You may have sutures that need to be removed after 10-14 days. The scar will continue to mature and improve over the the weeks to months following.

It is important to avoid re-piercing the earlobes for at least 6 months to allow proper healing.

Follow all post-operative care instructions for optimal results.
