Earlobe Repair
Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure to correct tears, splits, or deformities caused by trauma, heavy earrings, or gauges. It is a simple outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort.
The process involves trimming the torn or stretched edges of the earlobe to create fresh wound margins, followed by suturing the tissue to restore its natural shape. For stretched or gauged earlobes, excess tissue is removed, and the lobe is reshaped. The entire procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes.
Post-procedure care includes keeping the area clean, dry, and free from pressure or pulling. Stitches are removed after 5-7 days, and full healing takes about 4-6 weeks.
Complications are rare but may include infection, minor bleeding, scarring, or asymmetry. Scars are usually minimal and fade over time.
Earlobe repair is ideal for individuals seeking to restore the natural appearance of their earlobes, offering excellent cosmetic outcomes with a quick recovery. It is a safe and effective solution for enhancing confidence and appearance.
