I got my earlobes seen shut from having stretched ear lobes about 6 weeks ago and they are a funny pointy shape right now. My dr. says they will round out in shape and not be so pointy but all the photos I've seen of others with the procedure done have great shaped ears right out of the doctors office. I don't want to get discouraged but they look ugly!

Answer: Pointy Earlobes After Stretched Earlobe Repair Sadly, your earlobe repair has left you with pointy shaped earlobes, and unfortunately they are not going to round out on their own. The good news, however, is that with a revisional procedure the roundness to your earlobes can be restored.We repair a lot of stretched ("gauged") earlobes, and we have found that it is often times necessary to remove some earlobe skin in both the vertical and horizontal directions. This leaves patients with both a vertical and horizontal scar (a cross), but the shape looks great, and the scars are barely noticeable 6-12 months later!In your case, a horizontal incision across your existing scar needs to be made, and small triangles of skin on either side of the scar need to be removed. This will shorten your earlobe, leaving it less pointy looking. Thanks for sharing!

Answer: Ear lobe surgery I would give a little more time. However, it looks like the surgeon did not remove the entire split but instead just remove the hole. This can result in that odd shape that can last for a while. If it is not gone by four months then I susexpect that you will need a revision to remove that excess skin on the edge.I would give it at least four months though, good luck!
