Understanding Torn and Stretched Earlobes

Earlobe repair is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to address various types of earlobe damage, including tears, stretches, and deformities caused by piercings, heavy earrings, or accidental injuries.

Common Causes of Earlobe Damage

• Accidental earring pulls
• Chronic stress from heavy earrings
• Ear piercing placement too close to the lobe rim

Surgical Repair Procedure

During earlobe repair surgery, the following steps are performed under local anesthesia:

• Removal of scarred tissue around the tear
• Precise tissue re-approximation
• Fine suturing to create an even surface
• Minimal 24-hour dressing application

Expected Surgical Outcomes

• Fine linear or Y/X shaped scar depending on complexity
• Full scar strength develops around 4 weeks post-surgery
• Repiercing recommended at a slight distance from the new scar
