Ear Lobe Repair
Ear Lobe Repair
Ear Lobe Repair is a minor surgical procedure to correct torn, split, stretched, or deformed ear lobes. Whether caused by heavy earrings, trauma, gauging, or accidental tearing, a damaged ear lobe can be effectively restored to its natural appearance. Dr. Vishal Vikas Nair performs this procedure with precision to achieve aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking results.
What is Ear Lobe Repair?
The procedure involves surgically refreshing the torn edges of the ear lobe and suturing them together in a way that minimises scarring and restores the normal contour of the lobe. It is typically performed under local anaesthesia as a day-care procedure, with minimal downtime and excellent cosmetic outcomes.
Conditions Treated
- Torn or split ear lobes from earring trauma
- Stretched or elongated ear lobe piercings
- Gauged or stretched ear lobe deformities
- Traumatic ear lobe lacerations
- Congenital ear lobe abnormalities
- Keloid or scar tissue on the ear lobe
Procedure Overview
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. The torn or stretched edges are carefully trimmed and freshened, then sutured in layers to ensure a smooth, natural contour. The entire procedure takes approximately 20–30 minutes per ear. Sutures are typically removed after 7–10 days, and re-piercing can be done after 6–8 weeks of complete healing.
