I stretched my ears and from doing so I ended up getting a keloid on my left and right ear, the right has a bigger keloid than the left one. I tried finding a surgeon in my area that could surgically remove the keloid but I couldn't find any, I'm from Modesto CA, does anyone happen to know of any surgeons that do this type of surgery in or around my area, and how much would it be?
Answer: Steroid injection You may want to consider a steroid injection to lessen the keloid first and then consider removal if that doesn't help.

Answer: Recommend getting keloids removed and proceed necessary treatment to prevent future keloids Our office repairs earlobes after a traumatic tear of earrings, gauge piercings, or after a facelift in which the earlobes are stretched. 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 multi-layered 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.
