Over time, the hole of an ear piercing can become stretched out, elongated, or completely torn. This can be a result of trauma, wearing heavy earrings, or purposely stretching your earlobes with gauges. Earlobe repair in our office consists of a quick and easy outpatient procedure and will return your earlobes to their desired appearance.

What Should I Expect After Treatment?

Most individuals may resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. Slight bruising or swelling may occur that may be treated, usually with over-the-counter medications, as needed.

Split Earlobe Reversal and Repair

In order to correct a split earlobe, a widened piercing hole or a stretched ear piercing, a surgical procedure is necessary. Facial plastic surgeons, ear, nose and throat doctors (ENTs) and dermatologic surgeons are among the physicians that can perform these procedures.

First, the area will be cleaned with an antiseptic. In order to numb the area, local anesthesia is injected into or around the area that will be fixed.

Depending on the type of stitching material—suture—used, you may have to return for suture removal. Some sutures are absorbed by the body and do not need to be removed. If there are no complications, you will more than likely be able to go home following the procedure.

If you’re interested in having your split earlobe, widened piercing hole or stretched ear piercings reversed or repaired, arrange for a consultation with a medical professional who performs this procedure.
