Earlobe repair
Ear lobe repair can be as inexpensive as $350. It is $850-1200 in my practice but I use a two flap technique to protect against recurrence. If you have a simply closure, the scar tissue will stretch and you will need it revised over and over.
All the best,

Fixing torn earlobes
Torn earlobes can be repaired in the office under local anesthesia for about $400 for one earlobe and $650 for two. The sutures are removed 5-7 later and the scarring is very minimal. I would wait 3 months before piercing the ears again to help lower the risk of infection.

The cost of the repair depends on your geographic location, the extent of the repair, and the experience and education of the plastic surgeon. This can range from $350-$500 for one side; typically, the second side is discounted if it is performed at the same time.

Earlobe repair prices
Ear lobe repair is one of the most common office procedures and plastic surgery. In our practice, we routinely performed the surgery under local anesthesia. We used a technique that employs a transposition of a small tissue flap completely around the earlobe piercing. This will provide additional support for the earring so that the weight of the earring does not tear through the delicate scar tissue in the lower portion of the ear.

Torn Earlobe Repair Cost
Cosmetic surgery is elective, so insurance plans generally don't cover the procedure. However, there may be exceptions. Plastic surgery covers a broad area of medicine which includes both reconstructive procedures and cosmetic procedures. Torn ear lobe is usually considered cosmetic, but coverage varies and could possibly be considered reconstructive based on your specific condition. First speak with your insurance provider to determine benefits and coverage, then find a cosmetic surgeon...

$400-$600, but check with insurance first
A reasonable cost for an earlobe repair is $400-$600. However, you should inquire with your insurance company to see if this type of procedure might be covered. If that’s the case, you’ll only have to deal with the copayment. Not all plastic surgeons will clarify that you have that option.

Ear gauge repairs
The cost of repairing ear gauges varies quite a bit from surgeon to surgeon. I see it as a pretty simple procedure that only takes about 10 minutes a side. I really look at it like I'm performing a service, so I keep the cost reasonable, about $250 to $350 a side. I understand that many of those seeking closure of the holes are young men who want to enlist in the military, so I like to keep the cost affordable for them.

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 surgery center would be utilized....

Ear lobe repair cost varies from around 300-600 per ear
Earlobe repair varies between 300-600 per ear. There are many ways to fix torn earlobes from closing it and then having to re pierce the earlobe to creating complicated flaps of skin to preserve the earhole. I personally like to close the ear and re pierce. Sometimes, depending on what the person desires I will leave a thicker suture in place for the hole so that repiercing is not needed.

Cost depends on the severity of ear lobe damage
Dawn,
For ear lobe repair costs, it really depends of the severity of the defect in the ear lobe and whether you need both sides done or just one side. In my office, we charge $800 for one side, but only $1200 for both sides. The procedure usually takes about 1/2 hour and can be done under local anesthesia. We then see you a week later to take out the sutures. Included in the price is ear piercing which we recommend six weeks after suture removal.
Good Luck.

Many variables to earlobe repair costs
The cost of earlobe repair is going to depend on the surgeon performing the procedure, the location where the repair is performed (ie office, hospital, or surgery center), and the type of anesthesia used (local, sedation, or general).
