Hello, I have gauged my earlobes and my left ear lobe completely split in two. I read that this procedure is considered elective surgery and I would like to get a quote on how much repairing the one earlobe would be. I would also like to know if I can keep my gauges after surgery. Please advise and thank you for the time.

Answer: Strecthed earlobes can be repierced after surgery 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 procedure is used to restore contour to a pixie ear after facelift surgery or facial surgery. Gauge correction is a popular treatment. Insurance typically does not cover the procedure in California, but it all depends on your insurance policy. Costs are typically between six hundred dollars and one thousand dollars depending on the complexity of the repair. Pixie ear repair involves correction of the facelift flap and is a more complex procedure that requires anesthesia. Aftercare for earlobe repair involves proper wound care, Plato’s Scar Serum at least twice daily, with repiercing of the earlobe if requested, in 6 weeks. It is best to have a plastic surgeon perform the procedure and help with scars in the post-procedure period. Plato’s Scar Serum, wound care, and Neosporin are used.

Answer: It can be done You are correct that this would be a cosmetic surgery. You will find different price ranges, but our quote for this would be $2,500. There is more to resolving this issue than just reconnecting the two lobe parts. The bottom portion of the ear is no longer connected to the face where it should be, and that is a crucial stabilizing feature. Part of the ear tissue will need to be removed as well. This procedure needs to be done correctly, or you risk ripping your earlobe open again. As for the gauges, you would need to wait till the lobe is fully healed to put them in, and I would recommend going down a size to be on the safe side.
