What is earlobe repair?

The goal of surgical earlobe repair is to restore the natural shape and appearance of the earlobes, providing a more symmetrical and balanced look. This can include:

  • Repairing torn or stretched earlobes
  • Addressing earlobe deformities
  • Reconstructing earlobes that have been damaged due to trauma or injury

Earlobe repair surgery can also involve correcting earlobe piercings that have caused damage or elongation of the earlobe.

Am I a Good Candidate for Earlobe Repair?

  • You have torn or stretched earlobes
  • You’re in good general health with no underlying medical conditions that could interfere with the healing process
  • You don’t smoke or are willing to quit smoking before and after the procedure, as smoking can impair healing
  • You do not have any active skin infections in the area of the earlobes
  • You’re willing to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results

Why consider earlobe repair?

If the earlobes are split, this deformity is quite visible, and many patients feel self-conscious about the appearance of their earlobes. They refrain from ever putting their hair up in order to hide their earlobes. An earlobe repair in Beverly Hills with Dr. Lee at PERK Plastic Surgery involves freshening up the torn edges and then reapproximate the new edges back together. It is a simple procedure with a straightforward recovery.

Who is the best candidate for earlobe repair?

Earlobes may tear for many reasons, including being pulled on by small children, earrings that are pulled out, fights, accidents, or large gauge ear jewelry. 

Aging can also cause the earlobes to sag and look unattractive. Anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their earlobes is a good candidate for our Beverly Hills earlobe repair surgery, provided they are of sound mind and body, non-smokers with no major medical conditions, and they have realistic expectations for their outcome.
