Ear Lob Repair
"]

Ear Lobe Repair surgery is an effective technique for repairing any ear lobe injury. 

Causes:

Earlobe holes, or a split earlobe can occur due to various reasons:

  • Long-term use of heavy earrings.
  • Placing bigger and heavier gauges into the earlobes.
  • Pulling and entangling of long earrings.
  • Pulling of earrings by children.
  • Numerous piercings which are too close to the bottom of the lobe or too close together.

How Does It Work?

In these surgeries, the injured area of the ear is cleaned and then reshaped. The surgery usually takes around 30 to 60 minutes. The surgery can also be performed on both ears at the same depending upon the expertise of the doctors. The patients can go for re-piercing but only after consulting with their doctor. Normally, it is suggested that the patient must refrain from getting pierced for at least a month after the surgery.
