Earlobe repair surgery is a procedure that corrects damaged, stretched, or torn earlobes.
Reasons for Earlobe Repair
- Stretched or torn earlobes: Due to heavy earrings or trauma.
- Gauntlet earrings: Wearing large or heavy earrings can cause earlobe stretching or tearing.
- Earlobe reduction: To reduce the size of overly large earlobes.
Procedure
- Local anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia.
- Incision: A small incision is made in the earlobe to repair the damaged area.
- Suturing: The incision is closed with sutures, and the earlobe is reshaped.
Types of Earlobe Repair
There are two types of earlobe repair:
- Peripheral margin reduction
- Wedge reduction
1. Peripheral Margin Reduction
Procedure: A small amount of skin is removed from the edge of the earlobe.
Indication: Suitable for earlobes with minimal stretching or damage.
Benefits: Preserves the natural shape of the earlobe, minimal scarring.
2. Wedge Reduction
Procedure: A small wedge-shaped piece of skin is removed from the earlobe.
Indication: Suitable for earlobes with more extensive stretching or damage.
Benefits: Allows for more significant reduction in earlobe size, effective for repairing torn or gauged earlobes.
