Cost Of Gauged Earlobe Repair

The repair of the gauged or expanded earlobe, blown out or not, is done as an office procedure under local anesthesia. The average cost per each earlobe would be in the $500 to $600 range. Dissolveable sutures are placed to close the repair so no return visit is necessary. Other than a fine line scar, a normal size and shaped earlobe can be restored.
