From the age of 15 to 25, I had plugs of some size in my ears. Over time, my career path changed and extreme body modification was no longer conducive to this. At one point, my ears held 1" 1/4 (35mm) plugs/gauge/eyelets, etc. I had torn my fistulas(the ear hole itself) and had also "blown out" my earlobes( severe irritation/disfiguration based on too much stretching) It was time. I had my fun. Looked like a freak, but I had further aspirations and it was to time to close up the actual holes. They looked awful, sagged, and got made fun of occasionally. Because of Dr. Pousti's work, you'd never know I even had them. But that was the ultimate result I desired.

Yes your ears look great! I was wondering if the price you paid was because of how far your lobes were stretched or is that a normal rate for that procedure!

Earlobe repairs can be quite challenging in some cases and rather straightforward in simple lacerations of the earlobe. I perform all earlobe repairs under local anesthesia with minimal recovery.

Hey, I was wondering If you can give me mire information on how the procedure went. And any problems that you had while healing. I, myself have stretched lobes (I'm a chick) an I want to get the surgery. Thanks
