Well I have been using hoop earrings but then I stopped because I noticed my ear lobes have been splitting
Answer: I've noticed my ear piercing has been stretching. The photo doesn't show much in the way of stretching of your piercing. However, if your piercing is stretching and beginning to split it can be repaired with an in office minor procedure and then re-pierced about six weeks later. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

CONTACT NOW Answer: Stretched ear piercing Thank you for your question! Ear lobe stretching is a common issue for patients who have been wearing earrings or who wear particularly heavy ones. Repairing the ear lobe is a particularly easy procedure that I do under local anesthesia in the office. There's virtually no downtime and patients have minimal discomfort. We wish you the best!

Answer: I've noticed my ear piercing has been stretching. Can it be repaired? Thank you for your question, and the photo. We typically do this procedure in our office under local anesthesia. We usually close the incision in layers to take the tension off of the incision. This usually leads to a nicer incision line. Please call the office for more details and the current costs. Costs will typically depend on the complexity, and how much time, the procedure will take. Costs will vary from city to city. We usually have our patients wait 3 months before re-piercing the earlobe, and 3 mm from the repair. Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Otolaryngologist (ENT). They will help you make a plan to achieve your goals.

Answer: Ear piercing has been stretching: Thanks for your question - it's one we hear often from women who've worn earrings for years, especially large or heavy earrings. In the short-term, you can switch to studs or lightweight earrings in order to avoid further stretching of the piercing. A simple and quick non-surgical option includes using a dermal filler (like Juvederm or Restylane) or a patient's own fat, to fill the area around the ear piercing in order to tighten the pierced hole and add more support. Treatment takes less than 10 minutes and can last for 12 months.

Answer: Stretched earlobes The photo doesn’t show stretching but I suspect that this is evident when you wear the hanging earrings. The simple solution is to limit yourself to smaller earrings or studs and use clip ons for those special occasions. Costume jewelry that does not have 14k backs can also produce irritation and stretching of the earlobes.
