What is the Price of Surgical Ear Piercing Reduction Caused from Heavy Earrings?

Tags: costs, heavy, piercing

I have had my ears pierced since I was an infant. Over the years I began wearing heavy earrings and they stretched my earlobes out. The outer later of my skin is torn but the piercing hasn't stretched. How much would it be to surgically repair the torn skin of my earlobe. Where would I have to go to get it done? Do I need to inform my doctor of this procedure?

Earlobe repair

It is certainly acceptable to undergo reduction of ear piercings in the earlobes. This is performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately half an hour and the cost is $1,175 for one earlobe or $1,475 for both earlobes. Most facial plastic surgeons perform this procedure and close stretched earring holes.

Ear lobe repair price

Ear lobe repair is a fairly straightforward procedure to perform under local anesthesia alone, in the surgeon's office. Fees are therefore reasonable - usually 500-700 for one ear, or 1000 or so for both.

Repair Torn Ear Lobes

Thank you for the question. I would suggest checking with the American Society of plastic Surgeons for well-qualified plastic surgeons in your area. During your consultation asked to see examples of the surgeons work. Generally, earlobe repair is a relatively simple procedure done under local anesthesia with minimal recovery. Costs vary from practice to practice ($500-$1000 in our practice). I hope this helps.

Earlobe Repair

The cost of the procedure depends on multiple factors including the extent of the elongated earlobe, whether the edge of the earlobe is intact, etc. The best thing to do is to consult with a board certified specialist who can best assist and guide you.
