Our office repairs earlobes after a traumatic tear of earrings, gauge piercings, or after a facelift in which the earlobes are stretched. 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 multi-layered 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. Keloids are another major reason to undergo earlobe repair if there is a keloid scar nodule that has developed in the earlobe or ear cartilage rim. We use a combination of lasers, injections, and keloid surgery. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon
There are alwaysasymmetries before and after surgery although I always try to make the twosides as even as is possible. Scars aregenerally well hidden and may have a small amount of redness that can persist for several weeks or months.These can be treated with scar creams and laser treatments.
If you have one earlobe that is bigger than the other, it is possible to perform surgery on the bigger one to make it smaller.
If one earlobe is much large, then you can certainly have a reduction of the larger earlobe. Good luck.
Earlobe repair is a common procedure in our plastic surgery office. I employ a technique that involves removing the excess scar tissue and reapproximating the tissue planes in multiple layers to recontour the earlobe after gauges, torn earlobes, or stretched out earlobes. Sometimes, the same...
I am not certain of the cause, but it does appear that your earlobe is infected. You need to see a doctor as soon as you can and not wait until next week. If it is an infection, this most likely can be treated with oral antibiotics.
