What Are the Common Types of Earlobe Repair Surgery?

If you’ve experienced earlobe damage or are unhappy with the appearance of your earlobes, earlobe repair surgery might be the solution you’re looking for.

We can address various issues, including stretched or torn earlobes, and help you regain confidence. Here’s a look at the common types of earlobe repair surgery offered at Alfonso Barrera, Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery:

Repairing Torn Earlobes

One of the most common reasons people seek earlobe repair is due to a tear, which can happen from accidents, heavy earrings, or trauma. Dr. Barrera will carefully align the edges of the tear and use fine stitches to ensure minimal scarring. The result is a restored, natural-looking earlobe.

Fixing Stretched Earlobes

Earlobes can become stretched over time, especially if you’ve worn heavy earrings or have had stretched piercings.

Dr. Barrera will reshape and reconstruct the earlobe for this repair. He may remove excess tissue to restore a more normal appearance and, if necessary, reposition the earlobe’s attachment.

Earlobe Rejuvenation

Earlobe rejuvenation is another approach Dr. Barrera uses to address signs of aging or general wear and tear. This procedure focuses on restoring volume and improving the texture of the earlobes. Dr. Barrera might use dermal fillers or other techniques to enhance the earlobe’s appearance, giving it a fresher and more youthful look.

Repairing Split Earlobes

Dr. Barrera can also repair a split earlobe with surgery. The process involves removing the damaged portion and stitching the earlobe back together. This repair helps restore the earlobe’s natural shape and function, making it look like before the split.

Correcting Piercing Complications

If you’ve had problems with your earlobe piercings, such as keloid formation or infections, Dr. Barrera can correct these issues with surgery.

He will address the underlying problem and may perform additional cosmetic enhancements to ensure the earlobe heals properly and looks appealing.
