What is Earlobe Repair Surgery?
Earlobe repair surgery is a common procedure performed for the purpose of reconstructing the appearance of the ears. This may be due to previous heavy piercings or accidents that caused the earlobes to have large holes or torn.
How It Works
Earlobe repair surgery, also known as reconstruction surgery, can take 15 mins up to an hr for the treatment.
The treatment will be done by removing the inner lining of the elongated earlobe hole and putting back the edges with stitches. The procedure is especially for the ones who have previously had big hole piercings and would wish to restore the ears back to the original appearance. At our affiliated clinic, the surgery can be by local anesthesia.
