Whether caused by heavy earrings, trauma, or genetics, this minor surgical procedure restores natural shape and proportion to the ears for a refined, balanced appearance. Earlobe repair is one of the most common in-office procedures performed at our Winter Park and Orlando locations, designed to achieve subtle, beautiful correction with minimal downtime.

Understanding Earlobe Repair and Reduction

Earlobe repair involves closing and reshaping the tissue of a torn or stretched earlobe, while earlobe reduction focuses on resizing elongated lobes for a more youthful contour. Both procedures are performed under local anesthesia and tailored to the patient’s anatomy and cosmetic goals.

Common Reasons for Treatment

Torn lobes from heavy earrings or accidental pulling
Elongated earlobes due to aging or stretching
Asymmetry between ears
Preparation for re-piercing after trauma
Desire for a more refined or youthful ear shape

These procedures are safe, effective, and require little recovery time, making them a popular choice for patients seeking subtle facial refinement.

The Procedure Explained

Consultation and Planning

Your consultation begins with a detailed evaluation of your ear anatomy and discussion of your goals. Our surgeons create a personalized plan that ensures natural shape and proportion.

Repair or Reduction Technique

The area is numbed with local anesthesia for comfort
Torn or stretched tissue is delicately excised and reshaped
Sutures are placed to close and contour the earlobe
For reduction, excess tissue is removed to create a smaller, balanced size

Procedure Time

Most earlobe repair or reduction treatments take less than one hour and are performed comfortably in our office setting.

Recovery and Aftercare

Healing is typically quick and straightforward.

Mild swelling or redness resolves within several days
Sutures are usually removed after one week
Most patients return to daily activities immediately
Makeup or hair can easily conceal the treatment area during recovery.
Re-piercing should be done around 3 months following the surgery.

Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is earlobe repair painful?

No. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia, and most patients experience only mild soreness afterward.

Will I have scars?

Can I wear earrings again?

Yes. You can wear clip-on earrings during the healing phase and re-pierce your ears around 3 months after the surgery.
