Earlobes are an important element of overall facial symmetry, which is why many people choose earlobe repair. As a person ages, their earlobes age along with them:

• Earlobes usually lengthen and appear larger as skin loses elasticity.

• Holes from childhood piercings and scars from surgeries become more noticeable.

• Tears or gaps caused by accidents or illness draw attention away from the face.

The Weston Center For Plastic Surgery wants to help patients change their earlobes to reflect more accurately who they are rather than any damage that has been done over time.

BENEFITS OF EARLOBE REPAIR

Our patients usually experience:

• Higher self-esteem

• Improved overall emotional health

THE EARLOBE PROCEDURE

The procedure depends entirely on the type and amount of damage and your desired outcome. We have many years of experience with a wide variety of repair techniques. We can, for example, stitch tears and reshape an earlobe to match your face and your other ear. With sagging skin and/or holes, he can remove the extra skin, close the holes and contour the lobe.

PREPARING FOR EARLOBE REPAIR

We will do everything we can to make your earlobes match your self-image, but sometimes the damage is too extensive. We will discuss his recommended treatment plan based on your unique case during your initial consultation. We will also discuss any risks at that time. Surgery is usually performed under local anesthetics on an outpatient basis.

EARLOBE REPAIR RECOVERY

Most earlobe repairs take approximately six to eight weeks to heal fully. You should quickly notice positive results, and we take out stitches within 7 to 10 days. The immediate post-surgery treatment recovery involves pain management with over-the-counter medicine. We advise patients to call our office if they experience any unusual pain or increasing pain intensity.
