Earlobe tears and deformities are common and often occur as a result of heavy earrings, gauges, trauma, or gradual stretching over time. Whether from accidental injury or intentional body modification, damage to the earlobe can leave patients feeling self-conscious or unable to wear earrings again.
At Rosenberg Plastic Surgery, earlobe repair is a simple, in-office procedure that restores symmetry, shape, and function with minimal downtime.
Common Reasons for Earlobe Repair
- Torn or split earlobes from accidental pulling
- Stretched holes from gauges or heavy earrings
- Elongated piercings that no longer support studs or hoops
- Cosmetic refinement for asymmetry or irregularities
