basically I've just turned 16 and can't afford surgery, I was just wondering if there was anyway to make the hole gradually smaller over time, surely there must be a way?
Answer: Shrink down earlobe vs surgery Earlobe Surgery Newport Beach Earlobe reduction and repair Split earlobes, torn earlobes, earlobe plug holes, and earlobe reduction Who is a candidate? #EarlobeReduction surgery as requested five patients who have extensively large earlobes that may be large from family traits, aging, the use of very large earrings or plugs, or previous facial surgery. #TornEarlobes can occur when an earing is caught on something pulling it through the lobe. This will result in a #SplitEarlobe or #CleftEarlobe. The use of ear plugs and large piercings create large holes which require reconstruction to reform a normal appearing lobe.Its not likely that these will shrink enough. but they will a little

Answer: Shrinking earlobes after gauges Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, there is no better way to help you than surgery to repair and resize the earlobes. I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss options.

Answer: Earlobe No im sorry. 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
