How much will an earlobe reduction cost me in New Jersey?

Hello. You can have your earlobes repaired. Most surgeons do this procedure in the office. The cost is approximately $500 to $100 per ear. This procedure can fix a split lobe or stretched and enlarged piercing holes or elongated earlobes. After you are fully healed from the procedure you can have your earlobes re-pierced.
Best of luck!

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.

Hi Fabulous6684

Ears that appear to protrude outward, are asymmetrical or misshapen, or look unnaturally big can negatively impact your self-esteem, especially when young. Otoplasty (ear reshaping) is a cosmetic procedure that helps to recontour the size, position, and shape of the ears to result in a normal appearance.

Earlobe reduction takes about thirty minutes under local anesthesia. I perform this procedure commonly in women during a facelift if needed. You’ll need to do some calling around to figure out who in your area does these commonly and for pricing.   I typically would charge about $1500. I think that would be reasonable pricing .

This is difficult for me to answer since you have not posted any photos and I don't know exactly what you want.  I perform quite a bit of earlobe surgery and do this many different ways depending on what the issue is.  You are best to come in for a consultation.  Most earlobe procedures can be performed in office under local anesthesia which saves you on both the hospital facility cost and the anesthesia cost.  

Surgical fees will vary based not only on location but the extent of surgery required.   I would estimate the cost at under $2000. This is an office based procedure under local anesthesia so there are no add-on costs. Best wishes.

Ear lobe reduction surgery is a fairly quick office based procedure performed under local anesthesia.   There are several techniques for ear lobe reduction that can be tailored to each individual situation.   The cost for the procedure ranges from $750-950 per ear.   There are several fine sutures places during the procedure that usually come out 1 week later. The downtime is minimal to none and patients can return to regular activities pretty much the same day.

Surgeon’s fees vary from region to region.  This procedure can easily be done in an office setting priced between $ 1000 - $2500.  This is an average price, but you will need to verify this with surgeons in your area.
