Earlobe repair, also known as lobuloplasty, is a minor surgical procedure that corrects torn, stretched, or split earlobes. It is also performed to restore the shape of gauged earlobes. Over time, wearing heavy earrings, accidental trauma, or cultural piercings can lead to earlobe damage, making repair necessary for both functional and aesthetic reasons.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with strict aseptic precautions. The steps involved include:
Cleaning and numbing the earlobe
Making a precise incision above the torn or stretched area
Removing excess tissue if necessary
Rotating or reshaping the tissue as required
Closing the wound with fine stitches in multiple layers for better healing
Most procedures take about 30 minutes and do not require any downtime. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment.
You may consider earlobe repair surgery if:
You have recently injured your ear.
Your earlobes have been stretched or torn due to heavy earrings or trauma.
You want to correct wide piercings performed for aesthetic or cultural reasons.
You wish to restore gauged earlobes to a natural shape.
You want to enhance the overall appearance and symmetry of your ears.
A fresh piercing can be performed at the time of surgery in a separate area from the scar or after complete healing.
As we age, the earlobes lose volume, elasticity, and firmness, leading to wrinkles, thinning skin, and a flattened appearance. At Revitalis Clinic, we offer earlobe rejuvenation using:
Dermal fillers to restore volume and structure
Laser treatments to improve skin texture and tighten the earlobe
This non-surgical treatment enhances the youthful look of the earlobes and complements facial aesthetics.
