Earlobe Repair

Earlobe repair is a quick and effective cosmetic surgery procedure designed to correct ears stretched by tribal ear piercing (flesh tunnels) or split earlobes torn by normal earrings. The earlobe consists of a delicate piece of skin made up of fat and skin.

About the procedure

The earlobe repair procedure is tailored to the individual and may require subsequent ear piercing after surgery. The surgery generally takes 45-60 minutes, depending on the extent of the reshaping of the earlobe. The procedure is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, ensuring minimal discomfort for the patient.

Recovery Time & After Care

  • Initial Recovery: After earlobe repair surgery, there will be small scars on the ears, which will initially appear red but will eventually fade to a pale silvery color.
  • Long-Term Recovery: After 4-6 months, the earlobe should look almost completely normal with no obvious signs of the previous piercing.
  • Re-Piercing: Ears can be re-pierced 6 months after the operation.
