What Options are there for Fixing Split Earlobe?

Ear Lobe surgery cost varies significantly for a number of good reasons: Prices vary greatly because the surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. My recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where you want the surgery performed that are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or Facial Plastic Surgeon you trust, then compare prices between them. See the below link on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for your procedure. General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include:1. Location - Most procedures will be performed in a doctor’s office where costs can be contained. If not will it be performed in a hospital or an independent out- patient facility? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average charges for most areas of the USA.2. Type of Anesthesia – local anesthesia is typical and less costly. If IV sedation or General Anesthesia is used: Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or an RN be used? 3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery 4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc. #earlobesurgery#earloberepair#earloberepaircost

The only way to fix a split earlobe is through surgery. Split earlobe repairs are very common, short and rather standard procedures, lasting about an hour or two. They involve using sutures to close the edges of the wound on the front and back of the earlobe. With the use of local anesthesia, pain is usually very minimal. After a week, the sutures can be removed and your earlobes will be closed. A small, cosmetically acceptable amount of scarring is inevitable. And it will take about six to twelve months for this tissue to mature into an inconspicuous line.You can see an example of a split earlobe repair in the link below

Hi,
In order to get a durable closure a small tissue flap surgery is necessary. This is more complicated than simply cutting the edges of the split lobe and sewing it shut. Careful planning of the flap is needed. It is done under local anesthesia in about 30 min.
