How Much Does It Cost to Have Gauged Ears Fixed?

For me repairing earlobe gauge repair is pretty simple, taking only about 10 minutes a side. Prices vary quite a bit from surgeon to surgeon, so it pays to call around for prices. I usually charge $300 to 400 per side. Don't pay an outrageous price for something that's pretty straightforward. Many surgeons try to make you think this is a complicated procedure and therefore you should pay a lot for it .  I don't buy into that.  I've done about 70 cases, it takes less than one hour, and if enjoy doing these repairs. So I try to make it affordable.  

Repair of large, stretched earlobe piercings is an office procedure performed under an hour with local anesthetic. We typically charge $750 per ear lobe, but we offer service-connected discounts in our practice. Wishing you well! Dr Joseph

"Gauged" earlobe repair cost will vary based on several factors such as, surgeon experience, degree of difficulty and whether one or both ears are involved. There are likely some geographical differences in cost of earlobe repair as well. For gauged earlobe repair in Ohio patients should expect the total cost to be between $350-$750 for one ear and $600-1500 for both ears. Keep in mind this is a range of what might be expected as a total cost. RealSelf lists the average cost for “ear lobe surgery” at $1,125. I'm assuming this is the cost for bilateral earlobe repair. If you're interested in proceeding with a consultation for earlobe repair, be sure to consult with a board certified surgeon that performs a large number of earlobe repairs.

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.).  Low cost elective Plastic Surgery may sometimes be found in a University Plastic Surgery training program resident clinic.  This might also be an option for you.Jeffrey J.

Ear Lobe surgery cost varies significantly for a number of good reasons: Prices vary greatly because the surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. My recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where you want the surgery performed that are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or Facial Plastic Surgeon you trust, then compare prices between them. See the below link on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for your procedure. General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include:1. Location - Most procedures will be performed in a doctor’s office where costs can be contained. If not will it be performed in a hospital or an independent out- patient facility? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average charges for most areas of the USA.2. Type of Anesthesia – local anesthesia is typical and less costly. If IV sedation or General Anesthesia is used: Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or an RN be used? 3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery 4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc. #earlobesurgery#earloberepair#earloberepaircost
