Earlobe Repair

Earlobe repair is a straightforward cosmetic procedure that can restore the natural shape and appearance of an earlobe that has been stretched, torn, split, or damaged. Common causes include heavy earrings, enlarged piercings or gauges, and accidental injury. The goal is to create a smooth, natural-looking earlobe with appropriate symmetry and minimal visible scarring.

At Southeastern Skin Cancer & Dermatology, earlobe repair is typically performed in the office using local anesthesia. The damaged tissue is carefully repaired and reshaped, and most patients experience minimal downtime. Once healed, the earlobe may also be suitable for re-piercing if desired, although timing should be discussed with your surgeon.

If you are unhappy with the appearance of a torn or stretched earlobe, earlobe repair can be a simple way to restore its appearance. Contact Southeastern Skin Cancer & Dermatology to schedule a consultation and discuss your options.
