Earlobe Repair

Earlobe repair in new york city

How it works

Earlobe repair at Beautyfix Plastic Surgery is done under local anesthesia and takes only 15-30 minutes to perform. To repair and restore the earlobe’s appearance, the surgeons will first assess the area during your complimentary consultation. This will help determine the amount of skin that needs to be removed as well as to determine if you’re a candidate for the surgery in the first place. During the procedure, your surgeon will make an incision that allows for the trimming off of excess tissue and reshaping of the area. The incisions are then closed with sutures, which in many cases will absorb naturally into the body. Most of our patients return to work immediately after their procedure. It typically takes about 4 weeks for your earlobes to fully heal post-op.

What earlobe repair can do for you

Earlobe repair surgery is a great option for someone who wants to restore the appearance of their earlobes after they have been stretched, ripped or damaged in some way. This procedure can also strengthen your earlobes to prevent future damage and ripping from occurring, especially from wearing earrings. Many clients who seek out earlobe repair do so because it makes it possible to wear earrings again after the original earring holes are ripped.

What are the common causes of enlarged earlobes:

The size and shape of earlobes are primarily determined by genetics, and there can be natural variation among individuals. However, certain factors can contribute to larger earlobes. Here are some common causes:

Aging: As people age, the skin loses elasticity, and this can lead to sagging or stretching of the earlobes.
Genetics: The size and shape of earlobes can be genetically determined, so some individuals may naturally have larger earlobes.
Earrings and Jewelry: Wearing heavy earrings or consistently wearing large, heavy jewelry can contribute to stretching the earlobes over time.
Trauma: Injury or trauma to the earlobe, such as tearing or stretching due to accidents, can result in larger earlobes.
Piercings: Multiple or improper ear piercings, especially in the same location, can cause stretching and enlargement of the earlobe tissue.
