Also known as lobuloplasty, earlobe repair surgery is the procedure to repair a split earlobe. The auricular lobules are pierced in different societies and religions for cosmetic and religious reasons. Prolonged use of heavy piercings or injuries can lead to permanent deformity. The earlobe can even tear up in such cases.
So, whether your earlobe is cleft, injured, or has stretched excessively due to some reason, you can consider auricular lobuloplasty or earlobe repair surgery to correct the deformities. Give us a call, discuss your options with Pristyn Care’s plastic surgeons, and make an informed decision.
Treatment
Diagnosis
A facial plastic surgeon, an ENT surgeon, and a dermatologic surgeon can perform an earlobe repair surgery.
As the earlobe does not have any cartilage support, extensive diagnostic tests are not required before the surgery. A brief medical history of the patient is taken to analyze the overall health.
The doctor will explain the procedure and list the risks. Then, the patient is asked to sign a consent form.
Procedure
The correct technique for earlobe repair is chosen based on the current state and the results you expect. The procedure takes place in the following steps-
The entire procedure takes approximately 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the severity of the condition. Mostly, dissolvable sutures are used that do not need removal. If everything is fine, the patient is discharged after a few hours.
