How Much Does Earlobe Reduction Cost?

The cost for ear lobe reduction can vary in different geographical areas and practices. Unfortunately there is often no insurance coverage for this elective surgery and the complexity of the case may play a role in its pricing. In Los Angeles and Beverly Hills area the price for one side may range from $750 to $1000 and and if done on both sides it usually doubles. This is with the assumption that it gets done as an office procedure under local anesthesia. 

In our experience, nearly everyone with large ear lobes require reduction of both ears. Our fee for ear lobe reduction of both ears as of October 2018 is $1,500. We re-pierce at no additional charge three months after the procedure. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Depending on where you are located in the country, earlobe reduction will cost somewhere between $1500-$2500.  In a healthy patient, we can do this procedure in office under local anesthesia, minimal recovery and very well tolerated. 

Earlobe reductions are easy, quick and relatively painless. A small injection of lidocaine is used to numb the earlobe. The excision is made and a few sutures are placed that stay in for approximately 1 week. The cost is about $600 for one and $1,000 for both earlobes.    Good Luck!

The cost of earlobe reduction is going to vary like any other surgical procedure. This may be based on geographic location, market conditions, the surgeon, and the complexity of the procedure for the particular patient. Earlobe reduction might be performed for an earlobe that is too long, too wide, or stretched/torn from a piercing or gauge. All of these factors could affect the cost, but most surgeons are likely to charge somewhere in the $1000 - $1500 range for both ears.
All the best,
