Torn or damaged earlobes from wearing jewelry?
Earlobe surgery is a minor procedure that involves stitching a torn earlobe back together to restore its natural shape and curve. A torn earlobe can be caused by aging or various traumas, including wearing certain jewelry. For example, wearing heavy earrings for a long time can cause the earlobe to stretch and even tear. With plastic surgery, we can turn back the clock and reconstruct the lobe. It's a quick and simple procedure performed under local anesthesia.
What is earlobe surgery?
A torn lobe is separated into two parts. Earlobe surgery involves joining the two parts together and restoring their natural curve. The two parts will then be incised and then sewn together with dissolving stitches. It is also possible to perform earlobe surgery to reconstruct a lobe stretched by wearing large circumference earrings (stretch). Earlobe surgery is a procedure performed under local anesthesia. Complications are very rare and it is even possible to have the lobe pierced a few weeks after the procedure in the event that the initial hole could not be preserved during the procedure. This will allow you to wear earrings again.
