I got my ears pierced at the mall when I was 5years old. I don't wear heavy earrings but my ear hole got stretched somehow. I'm now 30 and want to close the hole and get it redone. The hole won't close on its own, what are my options and how much can I expect to pay for the correction?
Answer: Cost for Small Ear Piercing Correction Thank you for your question, and the photo. We do these procedures frequently. 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: Small ear piercing correction pricing may vary from case to case 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: How much to expect to pay for small ear piercing correction? Thank you for your pictures and questions. Ear-piercing correction can be done in the office under local anesthesia and should cost somewhere in the neighborhood of a few hundred dollars, maybe up to $1000 depending on the surgeon and the technique. There would be a waiting period of typically 3-6 months before you would want to get the area re-pierced.
