What is Earlobe Repair?
Earlobe repair is a surgical procedure to restore stretched or damaged earlobes. Patients who have stretched earlobes from heavy earrings, gauges or injury may benefit from surgical earlobe repair.
How it Works
Loboplasty is the technical term for reshaping and resizing the earlobe. It is a relatively simple procedure that is done in our office under local anesthesia.
After the local anesthesia is injected, the edges of the split are renewed with a surgical instrument. The earlobe is then reconstructed with sutures as the doctor works to restore the original shape.

Recovery
There may be some minimal discomfort after your procedure, which can be treated with over-the-counter pain medication. The sutures are removed after about seven days.
