Earlobe Repair

What is Earlobe Repair?

Earlobe repair is a simple surgical procedure that corrects damaged or stretched earlobes. This can be caused by:

  • Heavy earrings: Years of wearing heavy earrings can stretch the piercing.
  • Gauging: Enlarged piercings from gauges can leave noticeable holes.
  • Trauma: Accidents or tears can split the earlobe.

Benefits of Earlobe Repair:

  • Improved appearance: Restore the natural shape and beauty of your ears.
  • Boosted confidence: Feel confident wearing earrings and showing off your ears.
  • Minimal discomfort: The procedure is quick and relatively painless.
  • Fast healing: Healing takes around 30 days.
  • Re-piercing Ears: We will re-pierce your ears for free.

Earlobe Repair FAQs

  • How long does earlobe repair take?

    Typically, the procedure takes less than an hour.

  • Is earlobe repair painful?

    Anesthetic is used to numb the area, so you'll feel minimal discomfort during the procedure.

  • What is the recovery like?

    Most patients experience minimal swelling and bruising from earlobe repair. You can typically return to your normal activities within a day or two.

  • When can I wear earrings again?

    We'll advise you on the appropriate time to re-pierce your ears, usually after the earlobes have fully healed (around 6-8 weeks).
