Earlobe Repair

It depends on whether one or both ears are being repaired and how much tissue needs rebuilding, since a split from an earring and a stretched gauge piercing are different repairs. You get an exact figure at your consultation, and financing through Affirm, Cherry and CareCredit is available.

Torn earlobes, drooping earlobes, earring damage, stretching or tearing, surface damage from multiple piercings, and elongation from aging.

Earlobe repair is a small procedure, and your surgeon will confirm the anesthesia at your consultation once the extent of the repair is clear. The assessment takes a few minutes, so it is often done at the same visit.

Usually yes, once the repair has fully healed, and your surgeon will tell you how long to wait and where the new piercing should sit so it does not fall on the repaired tissue. Ask at the consultation if re-piercing matters to you, because it can influence how the repair is planned.

Repairing a torn lobe means closing the tear, so there is a fine line where it was. It is placed along the natural edge of the lobe where it is least visible, and the result is judged on how the lobe looks rather than on whether a line exists.

Earlobe repair is among the smaller procedures we perform and most patients are back to normal routine quickly, with sutures removed at a short follow-up. Your surgeon gives you the specific timeline and aftercare at the consultation.
