How much would it cost for earlobe repair surgery? (photos)

Question

I am currently in the process of trying to heal up my stretched ears and wondering how much would it cost to have both ears repaired. I have been told it varies on the size, and as I'm a student I'm very money conscious.

I would perform Kenalog IIT first to allow the earlobe to reduce in size, followed by surgical repair of the earlobe defect. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

The price from earlobe repair will depend on a number of factors such as amount of stretching and location of clinic. The cost should include the procedure fee and follow up. You may need to pay an initial consultation as well. We generally charge £100 consultation fee and repair prices are from £695 at the moment.

The surgeon fee is £800. The repair takes about 20 minutes per side. The hole is excised and closed in two layers.

Hi S.I don't do costing in my office.  However the price isn't really based on size, but rather if you have a torn earlobe or a gauge repair (more costly).  When you call around, be sure to specify that you have gauges, as some doctors do not repair them.All the best.sek

In general, the cost of earlobe surgery ranges from about $500-$1000, although it can be higher for more extensive tears. The procedure is not typically covered by insurance, as it is purely cosmetic. Thank you for the question

I do a lot of these - the earlobe is numbed with novocaine, and I very carefully remove the inside portion of the "doughnut hole"  - then suture this back together very nicely - re pierce the ear about 3 months later - done right in the office and takes 10 minutes - cost is $1500 per ear lobe repair.

Most surgeons will charge a consultation fee and then there is the cost of the surgery so make sure you ask about the total cost.
If you had it done under local anaesthetic as an outpatient which would be usual I have seen or been told of  prices that vary from about £500 to £2000. So it is worth asking different specialists and hospitals. I would be surprised if you can not find it locally for well under a £1000.
We do not have 'board certified' plastic surgeons in the UK. The equivalent is being on the GMC specialist register as a plastic surgeon. If a surgeon is also employed at the local NHS hospital as a Plastic surgeon then this would usually mean they have had an appropriate training. You should ask them about their experience. Members of BAAPS or BAPRAS are usually trained plastic surgeons.
The term cosmetic surgeon is widely used in the UK and any surgeon can call themselves a cosmetic surgeon. It does not necessarily imply any training or experience so be careful.
A good start would be to ask your GP for their advice.

Ear lobe repair surgery costs from $300-800 for both ears depending on severity of the damage. It usually takes about 30 minutes and sutures are left in place for a week.You may re-pierce your ears after about a month.
