I am looking to have earlobe reduction. Can you tell me anything about the scaring after the procedure. I have seen a video on youtube where a doctor uses a lazer and it looks like the better option than a surgical knife... Thanks

Answer: Earlobe Reduction The best results are typically from surgery but it looks as if you have a nice shape and size. I would see a surgeon for a cosmetic consultation and evaluate the area for a proper long term treatment plan. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Best Earlobe Reduction Technique I feel that the best method for earlobe reduction is a surgical one. In the case of the use of a laser for the procedure, the surgeon is using the laser to cut the skin and soft tissues instead of a knife. While that seems very "advanced," there may be a disadvantage to the laser as it burns the skin and soft tissue as it cuts - potentially causing worse healing. Whatever method you opt for, it is important that you consider a few very important things for your earlobe reduction:Choose a board certified plastic surgeon that has experience with this procedurePay close attention to wound care instructions after surgeryDo not smoke or use tobacco productsThis is a great procedure with immediate results. I wish you the best!Dr. Gabbay
