Ear Lobe Repair
Earlobes can stretch, tear, or become deformed due to heavy earrings, accidental tugging, or spacers. This not only affects the aesthetic appearance of the ears but might also make re-piercing challenging. Earlobe repair restores the natural form, ensuring that the ears complement the harmony of facial features.

How an Ear Lobe Repair works
In this procedure the damaged or stretched part of the earlobe is first excised, and then the edges are meticulously sutured together. The technique ensures that the earlobe retains its natural shape post-surgery. Once healed, which typically takes a few weeks, the ear can be re-pierced, if the patient desires.
