Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure designed to restore the appearance and integrity of earlobes that have been stretched, torn, or damaged over time. Common causes include heavy earrings, trauma, gauges, or multiple piercings that weaken the surrounding tissue.

This procedure is often sought for:

  • Torn or split earlobes from earring trauma or accidental pulls
  • Stretched earlobes due to gauges or heavy jewelry
  • Enlarged or elongated piercing holes
  • Entrapped earrings or jewelry beneath the skin

Earlobe repair is typically performed in-office under local anesthesia and involves minimal discomfort and downtime. The earlobe is carefully reshaped using fine suturing techniques to achieve a natural contour. In most cases, patients can re-pierce their ears once the site has fully healed.
