A lot of doctors seem to have little experienced to sewing stretched lobes because when I go on their websites and view the gallery there are barely ever any photos of this procedure. I’m looking for a doctor with experience of course. I live close to Pittsburgh PA
Answer: Difficult Problem Stretched earlobes are difficult due to the thin nature of the tissue and loss of elasticity. This will often require a tissue rearrangement or other minor tweaks to the procedure to achieve optimal results. I would make sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon to ensure they are adequately trained to give you the results that you will want.

Answer: Stretched earlobe repair Earlobe surgery is composed of several techniques that can either repair torn earlobes (split earlobes) or correct overly redundant earlobe tissue from piercings or genetics or stretching. Our HIDEF earlobe repair includes a recontouring of the earlobe contour using multilayered sutures to reapproximate the curvature of the earlobe; while simultaneously restoring contour to the ear. In patients with pixie ears after facelift surgery, an alternate technique is used to reduce the dependance of the earlobe on the facelift flap. Facelift surgery can reshape the earlobe and this requires restoration. Sutures are usually taken out within 10 days and the wound is repierced in 4-6 weeks thereafter. Keloid scars must be addressed in patients with known history for scarring.

Answer: I have stretched earlobes and I really would like to get them sewn. I am really unsure of who to go to Thank you for your question, and your photo. We have been seeing quite a few of these in the office. We can usually do this procedure in the office under local anesthesia. The patient returns to the office a week later for suture removal. The costs will vary geographically. Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Otolaryngologist, (ENT). They will evaluate your individual situation, and together you will make a plan. The individual office may have payment plans, (i.e. CareCredit, etc.).
