Earlobe Reduction in Main Line Philadelphia, PA & Somers Point, NJ

Enlarged or elongated earlobes can make the ears appear out of balance with the rest of your face. Whether caused by aging, gravity, or years of wearing heavy earrings, stretched earlobes are a common concern—and one that’s easily correctable with earlobe reduction surgery.

At The Brandow Clinic Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Kirk Brandow offers this minor but impactful procedure to patients in Main Line Philadelphia and Somers Point, NJ. Patients turn to Dr. Brandow for earlobe reduction because of his trusted eye for balance, symmetry, and results that look seamless and natural.

What Is Earlobe Reduction?

Earlobe reduction is a cosmetic procedure that shortens and reshapes the earlobe by removing excess skin and tissue. While often associated with aging, large or stretched earlobes can also result from genetics or long-term use of gauges and heavy jewelry.

This procedure can help:

  • Shorten overly long or drooping earlobes
  • Refine shape and improve symmetry
  • Restore facial balance and proportion
  • Deliver permanent results without the need for fillers

Earlobe reduction is a quick, low-risk procedure that offers long-term aesthetic benefits.

How the Procedure Works

Earlobe reduction is typically performed under local anesthesia and may take place in-office or in a certified surgical center, depending on your needs. The procedure usually takes less than an hour.

Dr. Brandow makes small, carefully placed incisions to remove excess skin and reshape the earlobe to its ideal contour. Sutures are placed with precision to ensure the final result is smooth, even, and natural in appearance.

Post-procedure:

  • Sutures are typically removed within 5–7 days
  • Swelling is mild and subsides within a few days
  • Most patients return to normal activities quickly
  • Final results continue to improve as healing progresses

Scarring is minimal and typically well-hidden at the base of the ear.

Who Is a Candidate for Earlobe Reduction?

You may be a candidate if:

  • You have stretched or sagging earlobes
  • Your earlobes feel out of proportion with your face
  • You’d like to improve symmetry or prepare for re-piercing
