just want a smaller earlobe, cutting it half its size.I feel like i can do the procedure myself with scissors. Just cutting it in a half and patching it up lol. Im just worried about the healing process. I Dont have gages, or a stretched hole because of earrings. Its just a personal preference of mine that i would like done. I have a normal size earlobe i guess you can say. So yaa.. how much, where can i get it done and will it look normal after cutting a piece off.
Answer: Earlobe Earlobe repair is a very common procedure. Frequently, we have patients who will have the procedure done the same day as the consultation. Typically, the cost is between $450-850 per earlobe, depending on the severity and the length of the procedure.You may be able to find a doctor who will do this under insurance but i am not aware of any.The length of time the ears have been gauged should have no effect on the procedure. As long as the tissue is no longer irritated or inflamed, there is no reason not to give it a try. Gauged ears are sometimes more difficult than some other earlobe repairs since the tissue is so over stretched, but we are still able to create a natural looking earlobe. You can get your ear re pierced about 6 weeks after and should be included in the pricing. Shop around in your area and see if you can find a plastic surgeon in your budget

Answer: Earlobe Correction surgery 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 multilayered 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.

Answer: Earlobe reduction Thanks for sharing. Yes there are ways to make earlobes smaller. They do not have to be torn or stretched but that is the usual reason for earlobe surgery. Reach out to some experienced surgeons in your area.

Answer: Earlobes are worth repairing and heal very easily. In my experience with simple and complex earlobe repairs, I can tell you that what you want to accomplish can definitely be done, and ears have a surprisingly short healing time. The ears can be sutured with self dissolving sutures, and these will generally dissolve within a week. The most important thing is to make sure the Dermatologist, or Plastic Surgeon you see is doing these repairs often, you can ask to see before and after pictures as well. Depending on the complexity of the case the price range can vary per ear from $500 to over $1,000 depending on who you see. Hope this helps answer your question.

Answer: Earlobe reduction surgery During earlobe reduction, I will mark each earlobe for the desired new shape and size. After injection with local anesthesia, I will simply cut on the "dotted line," reducing the earlobe size and improving its shape. A small amount of fat is removed to facilitate closure. The scar is located on the edge (rather than the more visible aspect) of the earlobe. Procedure cost is generally $1050 for 1 earlobe and $1950 for both earlobes.
