Split Earlobe Repair is a specialised surgical procedure to correct earlobes that have been stretched, torn, or split, often due to injury, piercing, or the long-term wear of heavy earrings. This treatment aims to restore the natural shape and appearance of the earlobes, enhancing both aesthetic appeal and functionality. Performed by skilled surgeons, the process involves carefully reshaping and suturing the split parts of the earlobe, using precise techniques to ensure minimal scarring and optimal healing. Treatment options may vary from simple suturing for minor splits to more complex reconstruction for severely damaged earlobes. This outpatient procedure is typically quick, with recovery times relatively short, allowing for a swift return to daily activities.

City Dermatology Clinic provides a comprehensive suite of earlobe treatments, catering to a wide range of aesthetic and medical needs:
Earlobe Repair: This treatment addresses torn or split earlobes, often resulting from injury, piercing, or heavy earring use. The procedure involves the surgical correction and suturing of the earlobe to restore its natural shape and appearance. It’s ideal for those looking to repair damage and achieve a natural-looking earlobe.
Earlobe Reduction: Tailored for individuals with naturally large or elongated earlobes, earlobe reduction surgery reshapes and sizes down the earlobes to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing appearance, enhancing facial symmetry.
Stretched Earlobe Surgery: Designed for patients with earlobes stretched by gauges or plugs, this surgery repairs and reconstructs the earlobe by removing excess skin and closing the gap. The goal is to return the earlobe to a more traditional appearance.
Ear Fold Surgery: This option is perfect for correcting prominent ears, providing a more discreet and natural ear position relative to the head. Ear fold surgery involves the placement of small implants within the ear to adjust its fold and position, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional otoplasty.
Keloid Ear Surgery: Focused on the removal of keloid scars that can form as a result of ear piercing, this surgery involves the careful excision of keloid tissue and, if necessary, the application of treatments to minimise recurrence. It is a relief for those suffering from painful and unsightly keloid formations.
Local anaesthetic is used during earlobe treatments to ensure a pain-free and comfortable experience for the patient. This type of anaesthesia numbs only the treatment area, allowing the patient to remain awake and alert without feeling any pain during the procedure. A local anaesthetic is administered directly into the earlobe via injection, taking effect quickly to block nerve signals in the specific area being treated. It’s a safe and effective method for various earlobe surgeries, including repair, reduction, and keloid removal, ensuring that patients experience minimal discomfort both during and shortly after the procedure. The use of local anaesthesia allows for a quicker recovery period, enabling patients to return to their daily activities with minimal downtime.
Your doctor at City Dermatology Clinic will discuss the full details of your earlobe repair procedure during your consultation, ensuring you have a thorough understanding of the process. Below is an overview of what you can typically expect:
Consultation: Your journey begins with a detailed consultation, where your doctor assesses the extent of the earlobe damage, discusses your aesthetic goals, and explains the procedure, including risks and recovery expectations. This is a great opportunity to address any concerns or questions you might have.
Preparation: On the day of the surgery, the earlobe area is cleaned and prepared for the procedure. Photos may be taken for medical records and to compare before and after results.
Local Anaesthesia: A local anaesthetic is administered to the earlobe to numb the area, ensuring you feel no pain during the repair. The anaesthesia takes effect quickly, allowing the procedure to proceed comfortably.
The Repair Process: Using precise surgical techniques, your surgeon will remove any scar tissue and delicately align the torn edges of the earlobe. The earlobe is then stitched back together with fine sutures, focusing on minimising scar formation and achieving a natural-looking result.
Sutures: The type of sutures used can be dissolvable or non-dissolvable, depending on the specific case and surgeon’s preference. Dissolvable sutures are absorbed by the body over time, while non-dissolvable sutures require removal after a few weeks.
Immediate Aftercare: Post-procedure, you’ll receive instructions on how to care for the earlobe as it heals, including cleaning and dressing the wound. You may be given a prescription for pain relief if necessary, although discomfort is typically minimal.
Follow-up: A follow-up appointment is usually scheduled to monitor the healing process, remove sutures if needed, and ensure the best possible outcome.
Recovery: Recovery time varies but is generally quick, with most patients returning to their normal activities within a few days. Complete healing and fading of scars may take a few weeks to months.
