What Is Earlobe Repair Surgery?
Torn or stretched earlobes can happen from years of wearing heavy earrings, accidental pulling, or body modifications, like tribal piercings. At Westover Hills Dermatology in San Antonio, TX, we offer earlobe repair surgery to restore a more natural shape to the earlobes. Whether you are dealing with an earlobe tear or significant stretching, our team provides safe, effective treatments that can help you feel more confident about showing your ears again. Earlobe repair is a straightforward procedure that can improve both appearance and function with minimal downtime.
What Is the Earlobe Repair Procedure?
The earlobe repair procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes 30 minutes to three hours, depending on the extent of the damage. For stretched earlobes, the elongated tissue is carefully removed, and the fresh edges are sutured together. For fully torn lobes, a slightly different technique is used to reconstruct the lobe's original shape. Our team focuses on achieving clean, natural-looking results while making the scar as discreet as possible. Each treatment is tailored to the patient's specific needs to ensure a smooth, successful outcome.
What Are the Benefits of Earlobe Repair?
Patients who undergo torn earlobe repair often experience the following benefits:
- Restored shape and symmetry of the earlobes
- Discreet scarring that fades over time
- Ability to re-pierce ears after healing
- Increased confidence in wearing hairstyles or accessories that reveal the ears
- Quick recovery with little interruption to daily life
- Personalized guidance on aftercare and healing
Earlobe Repair Reviews
This is an amazing office! Very clean and up to date. Everyone is very friendly. Dr. Ike did my earlobe repair and everything was painless. The medical assistant was very sweet which helped calm my nerves. I listened to music during the procedure which was recommended and that helped me a lot as well. I am very happy with my experience and will be returning for all my other dermatological needs.
