Whether from heavy earrings, accidental trauma, or long-term stretching, damaged earlobes can leave you feeling self-conscious about your appearance. Earlobe repair is a quick, in-office procedure that restores the shape and symmetry of torn or stretched earlobes—so you can feel confident wearing earrings again or simply enjoy a more natural look.
At The Brandow Clinic Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Kirk Brandow offers earlobe repair surgery for patients in Main Line Philadelphia and Somers Point, NJ. With a focus on precision and aesthetic balance, he delivers natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
What Is Earlobe Repair?
Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure that corrects torn, stretched, or elongated earlobes. Damage to the earlobe can happen due to:
- Heavy or gauged earrings
- Sudden pulling or trauma
- Piercings placed too low or close to the edge
- Gradual stretching over time
The procedure reshapes and closes the tear or elongated opening, allowing the earlobe to heal properly and, if desired, be re-pierced later.
What to Expect from the Procedure
Earlobe repair is performed in-office under local anesthesia and typically takes 30–60 minutes. Dr. Brandow uses delicate techniques to remove damaged tissue, reshape the lobe, and close the incision with precise sutures to ensure an even, natural result.
After the procedure:
- You’ll go home the same day with minimal restrictions
- Sutures are usually removed in about one week
- Most patients experience only mild swelling and little to no discomfort
- Scarring is minimal and fades over time
You can have your ears re-pierced after full healing, usually within 6–8 weeks.
