What is earlobe repair?
Earlobe repair corrects earlobes that have been torn (from jewelry snags or trauma), stretched (from heavy earrings or gauging), or otherwise deformed. The procedure involves removing the damaged tissue and carefully suturing the earlobe back to a natural shape. It is typically performed under local anesthesia in an outpatient setting and takes 30–60 minutes. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
