Earlobe repair is one of the most under-rated procedures offered at Pollard Plastic Surgery. This procedure not only helps men and women fix their torn earlobes, but it can also repair earlobes that have been intentionally or unintentionally stretched over years of wear. Let’s go over everything you need to know about earlobe repair before you come in for your private consultation with Dr. Emily Pollard.
What is Earlobe Repair?
Earlobe repair or earlobe surgery is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that restores the appearance of earlobes that have undergone trauma, whether that means they have been stretched or torn. Patients who typically come in for earlobe repair find that their earlobes have been stretched by wearing heavy earrings over a number of years, or have intentionally stretched their earlobes with gauges in the past. Dr. Emily Pollard is happy to provide all of her patients a more natural-looking earlobe, no matter how severe the sagging, stretching or trauma may be.
Can Earlobe Repair Fix a Torn Earlobe?
Yes, earlobe repair can absolutely fix a torn earlobe. Dr. Emily Pollard is a highly trained board-certified plastic surgeon with years of experience. She is able to transform any patient’s earlobes to give them a more natural-looking, pre-damaged appearance. This includes earlobes torn by trauma, earlobes torn or stretched by wearing heavy earrings, earlobes intentionally stretched with the use of gauges, and earlobes that may not have ever had a natural shape.
Does Earlobe Repair Involve Surgery?
No, earlobe repair does not involve invasive surgery at all. This minimally invasive procedure involves the use of a local anesthetic and a few small stitches to create a more natural appearance to the earlobe. Patients are typically able to get their earlobe repair done within about 15 to 30 minutes depending on the severity of their condition.
How Long Does Earlobe Repair Take to Heal?
With proper care, earlobe repair can take anywhere between eight and 12 weeks to heal completely. During your healing process, Dr. Emily Pollard will provide you with a set of post-operative care instructions to ensure you have a quick and easy recovery. After your incisions have completely healed after eight to 12 weeks, you are free to re-pierce your ears and wear earrings as normal.
