How Would I Go About Getting my Guaged Ears Repaired?
I guaged my ears to an inch and three quarters. I ripped my left earlobe in an aqward position. I.live in Jacksonville Florida and its a big city. When Iook in the phonebook I dont even know where to start. Everyone i contact seems to tell me its a thousand or more to repair. I'm trying to either get my earlobes repaired to their original state, cut off all together, or have my torn earlobe reattached . Which ever is the best deal. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start?

Gauged 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.
As the procedure is more complex to perform, the pricing is more expensive than the repair of simple torn ear lobes that can occur from wearing...

Repair of Gauged Earlobes More Complicated Than Usual
Thank you for your question. Repair of gauged earlobes is significantly more complicated than a torn earlobe from wearing ear rings. Putting the tissues back together so that you have as normal an earlobe as possible requires special techniques. As such the cost will be higher than a standard earlobe repair. Consult a board certified Plastic Surgeon for assistance with this problem. Good luck!

How Would I Go About Getting my Guaged Ears Repaired?
The only option for earlobe repair is in office plastic surgery to reattach your lobes and close the gauge holes. Gauge repairs tend to be more expensive as they are much more complicated and take alot more work than a straight-forward torn earlobe repair. The price you mention is what is commonly charged in most offices though prices will vary by the surgeon's experience and the city you live in. I hope this information is helpful.

How to go about getting ears repaired?
I would try and find a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who has experience with repairing ears and earlobes to repair your ear issue. The prices will most likely vary so you may have to look around a bit. Getting the best deal does not necessarily mean you would get the best result, so I would focus more on trying to find a surgeon that you like that has experience in this type of repair.
