Ear Lob
In order to correct a split earlobe, a widened piercing hole or a stretched ear piercing, a surgical procedure is necessary. Heavy earrings can also stretch out the ear lobes and cause them to elongate. However, ear lobe repair can fix all of the aesthetic issues one faces with the appearance of their ear lobes.
This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. This procedure involves freshening of the edges after removal of small amount of tissue. Then very fine suture is applied to approximate the torned edges to reconstruct a normal earlobe with maintainance of its original contour. Suture is removed after 7 days. Once the repaired earlobe is healed, re-piercing is possible after around 3 months.
