1 morning I woked up and my earring was out of my ear. I found out that my earlobe had split while I was sleeping. My friend earlobe split before and he said he let his heal by itself without surgery. What should I do?

Answer: Should I get surgery or let my split earlobe heal by itself? Thank you very much for your question and photograph. The decision for correction is ultimately yours, however, it is normal for this type of tear to be sutured and repaired. This can be done when the ear splits, or later after it has healed by itself, to improve the aesthetic appearance. I would suggest a consultation with a Board Certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options for correction.

Answer: Torn earlobe repair Hi and thanks for your photos. A split earlobe will not heal back together. It needs to be sutured together at the time of the injury. That said, it can easily be repaired later once the split edges are healed over It can be done under local anesthesia.
