What is Earlobe Reduction Surgery?
Earlobe reduction surgery is a surgical procedure performed to reduce and correct large, pendulous earlobes that many of you may find unattractive. Large earlobes are mostly by genetics and some are droopy due to wearing heavy earrings or having large piercings. In this treatment, the extra part of the earlobe will be removed to give a slimmer and more desired shape.
How It Works
Earlobe reduction surgery will be performed under local anesthesia. The anesthesia will be applied 30 mins before cutting a wedge of the earlobe out. The remains will be reattached to the head

1. Consultation and examination of the ear condition
2. Marking of the areas to be removed
3. Application of local anesthesia
4. Incisions will be made at the marked area
