Earlobe Repair Before & After Case 298

The patient presented with a significantly stretched earlobe, a common issue caused by years of wearing heavy earrings. The piercing hole had widened dramatically over time due to the constant pull and weight, eventually becoming so large that earrings could no longer be worn—they would simply fall out. The elongated hole not only affected the appearance of the earlobe but also increased the risk of a complete earlobe tear. This type of earlobe damage is a frequent concern for individuals who have worn heavy jewelry or gauge-style earrings and are now seeking earlobe reconstruction or cosmetic earlobe repair to restore the natural contour of the ear.

Dr. Chernoff performed an earlobe repair procedure and restored the earlobe with a smooth, natural-looking contour and minimal visible scarring. Our doctor specializes in precise, delicate earlobe reconstruction techniques. Earlobe repair is a simple, in-office procedure with the use of local anesthesia. It involves excising the stretched or torn tissue and meticulously suturing the earlobe to restore its natural shape. After healing, our doctor also offers earlobe re-piercing.
