Over time, earrings can stretch or even tear pierced earlobes. This can result in a deformity or the inability to wear stud type earrings that might fall out of the stretch earlobe.
The aging earlobe can become stretch, elongated, and overly large. Earlobe repair or earlobe reduction can be done to restore a smaller and more attractive earlobe which is in harmony with the rest of the face.
These earlobe procedures can be done in the office under local anesthetic which no downtime. Sutures remain in place for one week and the repair will heal quickly. We are happy to repierce the ear after repair at no charge.
