Procedure to fix ear lobe hole

It is not uncommon for a patient to seek repair of an earlobe hole especially in the situation that you are in . We commonly repair this problem as an office based procedure under local anesthesia. It is some times possible to only excise the hole and then repair the front and back of the earlobe. If there is any distortion of the lobe then sometimes a more extensive procedure is necessary. see video

Repair of Damaged Ear Lobes

We commonly repair gauge holes and torn holes in the ear lobe. We fix these in the office so their is no anesthesia fee. Prices start around $300 but goes up depending on the size of the hole and complexity of the situation. Find someone you trust and with a significant amount of experience. Good luck!

The cost should be around 500-2500 depending on who you go to

Closing ear piercings?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Closing ear piercings is a very commonly performed procedure done under local anesthesia with no recovery time. Generally, this procedure costs $500-1000 depending on the situation.

Cost for closing ear lobe holes can vary

Depending on who you go to, repairing ear lobe holes can cost $300 per hole and up. If you have it done in a dermatologist's office, under local anesthetic, it will cost much less than if you have it done in a surgery center. Typically dermatologist's are less expensive as we do multiple small procedures like this all day long but that may not always be the case.
