Hi, I'm trying to get earlobe surgery to reduce the size of my gauges because I'm trying to apply to the United States Marines. Is there any way to get this done? I've been told it's $950 for both ears but I don't have that kind of money. I'm from New York and I've heard somewhere that it's $400. I'm just trying to get this done as fast as possible so I can get shipped out fast. Any help would really be appreciated.

Answer: Earlobe repair cost The cost for earlobe repair is a common question. Earlobes requiring repair can be from a variety of reasons. Some may include a torn earlobe from a pulled earring, gauged earlobes that are now unwanted, facelift surgery causing pulled earlobes, or just simply elongated from older age. Because of the variety of different causes, earlobe repair may vary in complexity. A price range would be $500-$900 per earlobe. This will vary also depending on the region of the country you are in and the surgeon's expertise. I have some special techniques that I employ to minimize scarring and notching that can be seen if not reconstructed properly. This repair can be performed comfortably under local anesthesia to avoid any additional fees such as anesthesia fees. Earlobes can be re-pierced 6 weeks later if desired. I have done this exact repair for those wanting to enter the military. I think most surgeons would be understanding of your situation and offer a discount. Let your surgeon know what your military plans are. It can't hurt. Consult with an experienced board certified facial plastic / plastic surgeon in you area.

Answer: Earlobe repair costs
Repairing gauged ear lobes is really pretty simple. The great thing about working with the earlobe is that a fair amount of it can be cut away and still make a normal looking lobe. Also, the earlobe scars very favorably. This makes repairs a simple procedure that takes me about 10 minutes a side. You shouldn't have to pay an arm and a leg for the procedure. I typically charge $250 to $350 a side. I practically consider it a service for young people who don't have a lot of money and just realize they made a mistake in life. Fortunately it is easy to fix. Some surgeons want you to think it is a complex procedure and charge ridiculously high prices. I have kept my prices affordable, I do a lot of them and get great results. Most of all ,I really enjoy doing the repairs.
