In the event of stretched, injured, or torn earlobes, you will need earlobe repair surgery, a procedure that restores the ear’s shape, contour, and appearance.
Your ears may be able to recover on their own from minimal stretching, injury, or tearing, but you may leave yourself susceptible to scarring or aesthetic defects. To completely restore the look of your ear, you need earlobe repair.
Here’s what you need to know about the procedure.
Who Should Get an Earlobe Repair?
Anyone with an earlobe injury should consider getting an earlobe repair. Also, those unsatisfied with their earlobe’s shape, position, or contour can speak to their doctor to learn if earlobe repair is right for them.
Regardless of injury or stretching due to wearing heavy jewelry, the earlobes can sag with age, much like other body parts that lose elasticity over time. Earlobe repair can help address this issue.
If you’re looking to restore your earlobe’s natural appearance and shape, it may benefit you to speak to a professional about earlobe repair.
What Is Recovery Like?
Earlobe repair is a relatively low-intensity procedure, lasting only up to an hour. It can take even less time depending on your needs and if you only address one ear or both.
Because of this, recovery is typically quick and painless. Though full recovery will last a few weeks, you should be able to return to your routine immediately.
Though this is the norm, your experience may vary. Consult with your surgeon about your recovery and what you need to do. You may need to avoid strenuous activities, or strictly follow individualized post-operative instructions.
