How Much Will It Cost to Close my Size 5/8" Gauges?

This has been a common request since the popularity of gauging has grown.  Most of my patients who come in for this procedure tell me that they need to have the gauged ears fixed in order to apply for a job or join the military.  

The cost depends on the complexity of the surgery and whether one or both earlobes need to be repaired.  It typically is done quite comfortably under local anesthesia.  The cost in my practice ranges from $750 to $1200 depending on the complexity of the repair, time involved and if one ear or two need repair.

Good Luck,

Earlobe Repair Cost Factors
Of course the complexity and extent of the earlobe deformity correction will be the major factor  guiding the price. For example fixing an enlarged piercing would only be 2-3 hundred dollars but a severely stretched earlobe, one that requires a major reduction, completely torn ear lobe or congenital deformity will all require different complexities of repair. Local Anesthesia is typically used but IV sedation could be used but costs more as a certified surgery center would be utilized. The type of repairs required for a 5/8's Guage deformity which would range approximately from approximately $750 - $1500 surgeon's fees per ear and depends on how much of the rim is remaining for Orange County, California.
