Stretched Ear Lobe Repair
Ear lobe repair after stretching or gauging of the ear lobes may be performed in a plastic surgeon's office using local anesthesia. The post operative recovery is quite easy and not very painful.
Pricing often depends on how stretched the ear lobe is and how long the surgeon thinks the procedure will take to perform.
For repair of both ear lobes, pricing ranges from $500-$1000 depending on the size of the defect.
Definitely meet with a board certified plastic surgeon...

Earlobe Repair for Torn Guaged Earlobe
Thank you for the question and the photo. First, the skin appears somewhat raw or irritated in the photo. It will be important to let this heal for a little while, and get antibiotics if there are signs of infection, before attempting repair. That said, repairing your earlobe is certainly possible. I perform this procedure in the office, with a local nerve block. For significant stretching, as in your case, a very good result can be obtained with one procedure; a superior result may take a...

Repair of Torn guage holes
Most plastic surgeons are able to repair this type of defect, but there will be some variations in skill, artistry and the patient's healing abilities. The price can range anywhere from $375 for a small elongated hole or cleft earlobe from a tear through, to $750 for a more complex repair on large guage holes. It is done under local anesthetic and stitches are removed in a week.

Repair of Gauged Earlobes?
Thank you for the question.
This is a very more frequently requested procedure recently. It is generally performed under local anesthesia and can produce excellent results.
Generally, this procedure costs $500-1000 depending on the situation. Like any other procedure, the skill and experience level of the surgeon is important and complications may arise-seek consultation with a well-trained board-certified plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Torn earlobes, earlobe reconstuction costs and insurance
Earlobe reconstruction costs can vary following a torn earlobe, depending on the severity of the tear, the time and complexity of the repair. However, in some cases health insurance companies may help cover the cost of the surgery. If you have a health plan, check with your surgeon to see if they are able to ask your insurer for authorization to cover the surgery. Best wishes.

Torn earlobe
Actually a pretty easy fix for most surgeons. The cost may vary a bit, probably 500 to 750 per lobe. Just make sure you go to a real plastic surgeon. We deal with these all the time. Good luck!

The good news is that it can be fixed under local anesthesia
Hello,
Thank you for the question and the photo. A torn or stretched ear lobe can be fixed under local anesthesia. These are relatively easy to fix and the results can be very good. The cost associated with doing so will vary depending on area of the country and surgeon. Plan on spending around 1000 for both earlobe to be repaired. I suspect it might be a little more since the time involved in doing so is a little more.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta

A torn earlobe like the one you have looks like it was from ears stretched from gauges. The fees will vary from region to region. Good luck.

Torn Gauged Earlobe Repair under Local Anesthesia
The good thing about ear gauging is that it is a miniature form of tissue expansion so there is always enough tissue to remake a normal sized earlobe, albeit with scars. Your earlobes can be repaired in the office under local anesthesia. The typical cost for repair of both gauged ears is in the range of $1200 to $1500.

Ear Lobe Reconstruction More Involved Than Repair
Thank you for your question and photo. Your earlobes can be reconstructed under local anesthesia in the office by a board certified plastic surgeon. Your gauged earlobes will require a more involved procedure than usual and may require revisions to get a fairly normal result. The cost would probably be about twice the average cost of an earlobe repair listed on real self. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Earlobe reconstruction
If your other earlobe is similar except that it is still in continuity, the two earlobes can be reconstructed under local anesthesia. However, the reconstruction may take one or two procedures depending upon your expectations for the final result. Good luck.

Cost of earlobe repair
This is not a typical earlobe tear and the repair will be more extensive than usual. I would recommend closing this ear first and letting it settle down before addressing the other ear. This is a procedure which can be performed under local anesthesia in the office by a board certified plastic surgeon.

Cost to repair earlobe
The cost of repairing a torn earlobe is going to vary from surgeon to surgeon. I would try contacting some facial plastic surgeons or plastic surgeons in your area and getting some quotes. The procedure can be done just with local anesthesia so it should be able to be done in the office.
