Ear Lobe Surgery: Q&A

Can Anyone Recommend an Experienced Plastic Surgeon to Repair Stretched/"gauged" Earlobes in Portland, OR?
I can't seem to find any recommendations on the internet, or even any surgeons claiming to have experience with this sort of procedure. My earlobes were stretched to 1 1/4" many years ago, and have since naturally shrunken to about 5/8". I want "normal" earlobes again. I have several friends who have had this procedure, but they are halfway across the country. I would like to stay in Portland if possible, to make follow-up easier. Any recommendations in Portland, OR?

The two easiest ways to find a board certified plastic surgeon in your area would be to call the University of Oregon medical center and ask for a recommendation or to check on plastic surgery.org, the website of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Earlobe repair is a basic procedure for any board certified plastic surgeon.

Portland Stretched Earlobe Repairs
Hello Heather,
There are several excellent facial plastic surgeons on this site close to your location. We perform several of the stretched earlobe repairs per year and the numbers continue to increase at a staggering rate as more and more patients with stretched lobes no longer like the appearance of their ears, or they are seeking jobs or military service that frown upon body modification.
Good luck with finding the right surgeon for you!
