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

November 14, 2011
Asked By:Lexi Lu

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?
