What is Earlobe Repair?
Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure that corrects damage to the earlobes, restoring their natural shape and structure. Whether the earlobe has been stretched from prolonged earring wear or torn from an injury, this procedure effectively repairs and reshapes the earlobe area. During earlobe repair surgery, Dr. Daraei carefully sutures the affected tissue to ensure minimal scarring and a natural-looking outcome.
Candidates for Earlobe Repair
Ideal candidates for earlobe repair include those with torn, stretched, or damaged earlobes wanting to restore their natural appearance. This procedure is ideal for those who want to correct the effects of heavy earrings, gauging, or accidental injuries. During a consultation with Dr. Daraei, he will evaluate your concerns and recommend the best approach to achieve optimal results.
Earlobe Repair Procedure
Earlobe repair is a quick, in-office procedure performed under local anesthesia to ensure optimal patient comfort. During the earlobe repair procedure, Dr. Daraei carefully trims excess tissue, reshapes the earlobe, and sutures it to create a smooth and natural appearance. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete, depending on the extent of the damage. Patients can expect minimal discomfort and a relatively quick recovery.
Earlobe Repair Recovery
Recovery from earlobe repair is generally straightforward, with minor swelling and redness expected for the first few days. Patients should follow post-procedure care instructions, including keeping the area clean and avoiding unnecessary pressure on the ears. Sutures are typically removed within one to two weeks, and most individuals can resume normal activities immediately. If desired, the earlobe can be re-pierced after full healing, usually within a few months.
