Torn Earlobe Surgery: Expert Reconstruction

Whereas the eyes are the focus of the face generating an overall impression of facial attractiveness, vitality and interpersonal connection, the ears frame the face, helping to define the overall shape and youthfulness of the face. Saggy, stretched, split, ripped, or winging ears all convey undesirable messages, as do tightly pulled “pixie ears” following some facelifts. We can offer safe, effective, and experienced solutions for earlobe restoration.

Revitalizing Stretched Earlobes

Prolonged use of heavy earrings can stretch and elongate earlobes over time, creating an aged or sagging appearance. Our earlobe surgery procedure reshapes and remodels the edges of the earlobes, removing excess skin while minimizing the risk of unsightly scars. This simple yet effective treatment restores your earlobes, making them look youthful and natural again.

Repairing Split and Torn Earlobes

Accidents happen, and earrings can sometimes lead to split or torn earlobes. Whether caused by an unfortunate tug or years of wear and tear, these issues are entirely repairable. With earlobe reconstruction surgery, we skillfully restore the ear’s natural shape, and in just a couple of months, you can comfortably wear earrings again.

Fixing Ripped and Gauged Earlobes

For those with ripped earlobes or overstretched piercings, including earlobes damaged by gauges, we offer tailored surgical solutions. Our experienced surgeons remove excess tissue and tighten the skin to restore a smooth, balanced appearance. Whether you’ve moved on from gauges or simply want to repair sagging skin, our earlobe repair surgery delivers outstanding results.

Attached Earlobe

Some people have a noticeable atypical appearance to their ear(s) where the earlobe appears low, dragged down, and attached to the side of the face, giving a pointed or tapered appearance, a so-called “pixie ear.” This can be something you are born with or the result of trauma or scarring from a facelift. Surgical options exist to create more rounded, softer, free-floating earlobes.

Deflated Earlobe

Reinflation of collapsed earlobes can be expertly accomplished without surgery.

Winging Ears

Sagging, enlarged earlobes can make ears that naturally wing out appear even more so. A simple procedure performed behind the ears in conjunction with earlobe reduction and restore a more natural appearance.

Recovery & Results

Recovery from earlobe surgery is quick and straightforward. Most patients experience minimal swelling and discomfort, returning to daily activities almost immediately. Stitches are typically dissolvable, but in infrequent cases some sutures may be removed after one week. Depending upon the procedure, earrings may be worn immediately or delayed for 6-8 weeks. The results are long-lasting, providing smoother, more natural-looking earlobes.
