I hate my saggy earlobes so when I saw an ad for Ear Lift invisible earlobe-support tape I was intrigued. Does it work? What will work to lift them up?
Answer: Cost of ear lobe reduction surgery
The tape for invisible non-surgical ear lobe may work temporarily but it often "kinks" the ear lobe and is not a good long term solution. Surgery is generally a limited procedure that can be easily performed in the office under local anesthesia and will typically run under $2500.

Answer: Surgical Excision is Best for Sagging Earlobes It’s not unusual for patients to seek alternatives to surgery when they have ear deformities. Unfortunately, none of these treatments are effective in treating saggy ear lobes. When this situation arises, excision of excess ear lobe is the only effective treatment available. If you’re concerned about saggy ear lobes consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate. This surgeon should be able to formulate an appropriate treatment plan for you.

Answer: Earlobe lift to improve ear lobe sagging
An earlobe lift is a very effective strategy that provides longterm uplifting of a sagging earlobe. Surgery takes one hour to perform and works much better than the ear tape.

Answer: Earlobe lift
Earlobe size can be reduced and sagging earlobes can be lifted. For a slight reduction in size and lift CO2 laser resurfacing is a good option as it shrinks the earlobes without the need for incisions. Surgical options such as wedge or star excision are also options.

Answer: Surgical correction is usually better (and cheaper in the long run) In-office surgical correction of "slot ear" deformities works well, and in the long run a permanent solution to the problem is usually better than temporary tapes. It seems that this type of earring deformity is what Ear Lift is targeting. The reviews on Amazon.com aren't so great for it, though. It doesn't seem that the product is designed merely for droopy or pendulous lobes. For droopy lobes, there are several minor surgical procedures that can be designed to fix them. These are procedures that are done in the office under local anesthesia (injection of numbing medication) and are usually relatively inexpensive. Re-piercing ears after such correction should be done, ideally, by the surgeon who did the lobe reduction. All the best, --DCP
