What Is Earlobe Repair?

Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure that closes torn, stretched, or split lobes so you can wear earrings—or no earrings—without gaps or scars.

 

Under local anesthesia, we excise the damaged edge, align fresh tissue, and place fine sutures for an almost invisible line. Stitches come out at 5–7 days, and most people resume work the same afternoon.

Ideal for: Adults who dislike the look of ripped, widened, or gauged earlobes.

How Earlobe Repair Works

check

Local anesthesia & prep

We cleanse your skin and numb the lobe so you feel only light pressure.

check

Precise tissue removal

Your surgeon trims the uneven edges, then re-shapes the lobe into a smooth, natural curve.

check

Fine microsutures

Delicate stitches bring the edges together; the entire procedure takes 20–30 minutes per lobe.

check

Quick after-care & follow-up

Apply antibiotic ointment, avoid heavy earrings for 6 weeks, and visit us at 1 week, 1 month, and 12 months.

FAQs – Ear Surgery

How much does earlobe repair cost?
Earlobe repair at Leva Medical starts at $1,200 per lobe and includes your board-certified surgeon, private suite, dissolvable dressings, and 12-month doctor-guided follow-up. With approved credit, payments can be as low as $50–$75 per month after a typical deposit. Exact quote after exam; individual results may vary.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes. Because we use local anesthesia, you can drive yourself home and return to desk work right away—just avoid heavy lifting for 48 hours.
Will I need special after-care?
Keep the area clean, apply antibiotic ointment twice daily, and avoid earrings for six weeks. Stitches are removed around day seven, and we’ll give you simple scar-care tips.
Are there alternative procedures or add-ons?
Small notches can sometimes be camouflaged with dermal fillers, and many patients pair earlobe repair with otoplasty or skin-tag removal for a full ear refresh.
Does earlobe repair hurt?
You’ll feel only a quick pinch during numbing. Post-procedure discomfort is mild—usually 1–2 out of 10—and managed with acetaminophen.
When can I re-pierce my ears?
Wait 8–12 weeks for full tissue strength, then pierce slightly off the original spot to protect your results.
Will the scar be noticeable?
Scars typically fade to a thin, pale line that’s hard to see without magnification. Consistent after-care and follow-up visits help them heal discreetly.
