How Much Would It Cost to Repair Gauged Ears That Are Gauged at One Inch?

How much will it cost to close my large gauge 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).

Closing of Gauged Ears, Torn Earlobes
In regards to gauges, I generally will charge $1000 for the first ear closure and $750 for a second done the same day.

Ear lobe repair
With large holes like the ones you describe, repair will be more complex and more difficult to achieve normal looking ear lobes. The surgery is done under local anesthesia (usually). However if you desire sedation by anesthesiologist, then there will be more cost for the anesthesiologist.
