Repairing earlobes after keloid removal depends on the actual situation
It would depend on how big of a defect it is in the earlobe. If you whole earlobe is affected it could take a big operation. the pricing would be between $500-$5000 depending on the situation and basically the time factor.

Ear Keloids

Earlobe Creation
This is a multiple step operation, requiring elevation of a flap of skin from behind the ear and then a month later, transecting the base and flipping the skin over to create the lobule. In a person that keloids, there would be a high risk of a keloids reforming in the new lobe. For this multiple stage procedure, we would charge $1900 for one ear and $2900 for both. The bottom line, yes it can be done, but it might not be worth it.
