Cosmetic surgery to repair a torn earlobe is common.
Piercing an earlobe puts it at risk to tear. The size, style and weight of an earring can contribute to the stretching of the earlobe opening. Large earrings that dangle are caught on clothing or grasped by children. The result may be a partially or completely torn earlobe.
Repair of a torn earlobe is easily performed in our office using a local anesthetic. The procedure consists of "freshening" the edges of the split and the placement of sutures to complete the repair. Your ears can be re-pierced at the time of surgery.
The procedure takes less than 30 minutes. There is minimal discomfort and no downtime.
