Ear Surgery to Reduce Earlobe Size?
I have large ears and earlobes. I know the ear pinning would take care of most of the protrusion problem, and thus make my ears look smaller. But is anything done with the earlobes? Also, if this is possible, how much would it cost?

Youthful Ear Lobes by Ear Lobe Reduction
Elongated ear lobes are frequently associated with aging. Treatment of the aged ear lobe is a relatively straight forward office procedure performed using a local injection anesthetic. The cost will vary among clinics and experience for our office the charge is $500. For those individuals who also have prominent ears and are considering undergoing otoplasty it is very common for the ear lobe to be flared or rotated forward almost lying horizontal rather than hanging...

Can I Reduce Ear and Earlobe Size?
Yes, depending upon the particulars of your ear problems there are a number of techniques for improving the shape and size of your ears and earlobes.
The cost will vary widely depending upon what otoplasty, earlobe or ear reconstruction procedure is being done.
Therefore a consultation is needed so that after evaluation a discussion of your options can be conducted.

Earlobe Reduction to Reduce Size of Ears
Earlobe surgery is what is necessary to reduce the size of the ear lobes. Otoplasty is a separate procedure that is performed to set the ears backwards. An earlobe reduction can be performed alone or as a combined procedure, something I commonly perform with facelift surgery. When performed alone I do this in the office under local anesthesia.

Reducing the size of earlobes
Large earlobes are not fixed by a standard otoplasty. Some particular proceedure must be specifically designed to address this problem. Earlobe size can be reduced and made more pleasing aesthetically but unlike otoplasty the scars cannot always be hidden. The proceedure is almost always done under local anesthesia in under 1 hour and cost is about 2000$

Otoplasty can reduce the ear lobe and ear size
Reshaping the ear can improve the appearance of the ear. There are many good techniques to reduce ear lobe size or reduce the size of the ear. However , after successful repositioning of the ear and recreation of the natural curves of the ear, the ear lobe may be in balance with the rest of the ear and not require reduction.

Otoplasty and Earlobe Reduction
Otoplasty can be combined with an earlobe reduction at the time of surgery or thereafter in clinic. Earlobe reduction is an outpatient procedure and is often performed in the office. Scars should be hidden along the preauricular skin crease.

Discuss this with the surgeon performing the otoplasty. Depending on the configuration of the lobe, there are several options to reduce size, and it can be done at time of otoplasty- this is an ideal time to address it.

Earlobe reduction can be done at the time of an otoplasty
During an otoplasty there are several modifications that can be performed to control the flare and size of the earlobes. During your consultation the exact shape of your earlobe can be evaluated and the best technique can be selected.

Earlobe reduction is under local anesthesia
Earlobe reduction can be performed under local anesthesia as an out patient. Frequently an enlarged lobe makes one look old and there is no way to diet and excercise an overly large lobe away.
Sutures are meticulously placed during the procedure and removed a week later.

Earlobe reduction
This can be done at the timeof a facelift or other surgical procedure or as a stand alone procedure with local anesthesia in the office.
The earlobes get longer with age but they can also lose volume and look deflated. Depending on the appearance of the lobule the incisions can be along the margin of the lobule or an incision within the lobule itself.
This is an easy procedure with very happy patients.
Good luck

Earlobe reduction
Earlobe reduction is commonly done, and it can even be done in an office setting under local anesthesia. The results can be fantastic, but know that some of the scars may be visible. The cost varies (around $1,000-3,000) so check around before booking your procedure. Good luck!

Earlobe Reduction
Earlobe reduction is most commonly performed in conjunction with a facelift or as a stand-alone procedure. It is certainly possible to reduce the earlobe size as part of the otoplasty operation: after all, otoplasty means plastic surgery of the ears.
There are many specific anatomical aspects to consider with earlobe size reduction wich will determine where the incisions are placed.

Ear lobe reduction is an office procedure, perfromrd with local anesthetic.
The appearance of your ear lobes may change, and increase in size with age. There is an elongation and deflation that occurs with the aging process.
There is a relatively straight forward office-procedure to reduce the size of your ear lobes. After the reduction, Injectable Fillers are useful to replace lost volume.
I hope this is helpful, and best regards.

Ear surgery for reducing earlobe size is easy
Earlobe reduction is quite easy and occasionally done at the time of a facelift. A wedge of the lobe is removed and the resulting defect is sutured. If this is the only desired change to the ear, it is always done with local anesthesia. If the ear has been pierced, this is commonly lost as a by-product of the procedure. The sutures are removed in 5-7 days and the earlobe can be re-pierced in about a month.
Cost: $150 per side
Otoplasty (ear reshaping) is much more complicated and varies in...

How to make ear lobes smaller?
There are surgical treatments designed to make ear lobes smaller. Depending on the shape of the ear lobes, the incision can be made at the edge of the ear lobe, or at its attachment to the face. The amount of tissue that is removed is dependent on patient wishes.
This procedure can be done under local anesthesia in the office. The price range in the NY area is $800. When you contact your local plastic surgeon, make sure they are comfortable with the procedure.
