Earlobe Repair Surgery

Earlobe repair surgery is a minor surgical procedure that restores the natural shape and appearance of the earlobes. Over time, earlobes can become stretched, torn, or split due to heavy earrings, trauma, or intentional stretching (gauges or plugs). These changes can affect confidence and make wearing earrings difficult.

Earlobe repair restores symmetry and contour by closing tears, reducing enlarged holes, or reshaping stretched lobes. The result is a smooth, natural-looking earlobe that allows patients to wear earrings again if they wish.

Your journey begins with a consultation, where we assess the condition of your earlobes and discuss your goals. We will explain the most appropriate surgical technique, outline the recovery process, and answer any questions.

• You will also be introduced to your dedicated patient coordinator, who will support you throughout the process and remain available via WhatsApp for discreet communication.
• The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthetic and takes around 30–60 minutes. Fine sutures are used to carefully repair and reshape the earlobe, with minimal scarring. In some cases, a small reduction of excess tissue may be performed to refine the result.
• Recovery is straightforward: patients can usually return to normal activities within a few dayd. Scars fade gradually and are usually very discreet. Re-piercing of the ears is possible after full healing, which is typically around 3–6 months.
