Greetings. I have stretched my earlobes to hold discs up to 1 5/8". I was considering having them repaired because I deal with parents and administrators at my work. I would like to find an experienced plastic surgeon who has repaired stretched ears. I live near L.A. Any idea of the cost?

UCLA, USC, Cedars Sinai and ASPS all have websites and rosters of surgeons by location. The cost varies based on location. In NY, I charge $750 for unilateral and $1250 for bilateral repair.

Earlobe and gauge earlobe repairs in Los Angeles

Earlobe repair with gauges can be repaired with an outpatient technique that utilizes the stretched skin to accomodate and create a new earlobe.  This is a common procedure that takes meticulous attention to detail.  I perform these in my office based surgical suite in Los Angeles.

Earlobe repair is very straightforward

I have patient come in the office all the time for repair of stretched out and torn earlobes. In fact, just last week I removed several keloid scars from a patient who had her earrings torn out of her earlobe and then developed excessive scar tissue. This procedure can almost always be performed under local anesthesia. The only exception would be earlobe reduction as a part of a facelift.

Correcting stretched earlobes

The correction of stretched earlobes is one of the most common office procedures in plastic surgery. We routinely perform this procedure under local anesthesia with great success. We use a technique that employs a small tissue flap to completely wrap around the piercing. This creates stable support for the earring to rest on so that the weight of the earring does not tear through the delicate tissue below.

Ear lobe reduction

I have performed ear lobe reduction on several of my patients at Newport Beach area. The procedure is pretty simple and can be performed under local anesthesia. The procedure needs to be customized and according to your needs and wants. Essentailly, it involves excising the stretch out skin and restoring a rounder shape to the lobule.
