Earlobe Repair Surgery

Earlobes may seem like a small feature, but they play an important role in facial balance and personal appearance. Torn, stretched, or damaged earlobes can occur due to heavy earrings, injuries, or long-term use of gauges, often making people feel conscious about wearing jewellery again.

Understanding the Basics

What Is Earlobe Repair Surgery?

Earlobe repair is a quick reconstructive procedure designed to correct torn, split, or enlarged earlobes. The damaged tissue is carefully reshaped and stitched to restore a natural contour and symmetry.

The treatment is performed with precision to ensure minimal scarring and a neat, refined appearance, making it possible to re-pierce the ear later if desired.
