Earlobe Repair after gauging.
This has been a common request since the popularity of gauging has grown. Most of my patients who come in for this procedure tell me that they need to have the gauged ears fixed in order to apply for a job or join the military.
The cost depends on the complexity of the surgery and whether one or both earlobes need to be repaired. It typically is done quite comfortably under local anesthesia. The cost in my practice ranges from $750 to $1200 depending on the...

Earlobe Repair Cost Factors
Of course the complexity and extent of the earlobe deformity correction will be the major factor guiding the price. For example fixing an enlarged piercing would only be 2-3 hundred dollars but a severely stretched earlobe, one that requires a major reduction, completely torn ear lobe or congenital deformity will all require different complexities of repair. Local Anesthesia is typically used but IV sedation could be used but costs more as a certified...

Closure of Gauged Ear Lobes?
Thank you for the question.
This is a very more frequently requested procedure recently. It is generally performed under local anesthesia and can produce excellent results.
Generally, this procedure costs $700-1200 depending on the situation. Like any other procedure, the skill and experience level of the surgeon is important and complications may arise-seek consultation with a well-trained board-certified plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

How much will it cost to close my large earring holes?
Believe it or not, this is a common question. When the military recently started awarding large "sign up" bonuses to new recruits, we had an increase in patients requesting closure of the large holes left by Gauges in the ear lobes (the military will not let you in with these in place).
Due to this, I see more patients with requests to close the holes left from gauges. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and takes about 1 hour. You can expect to pay...
