Is it possible to have an earlobe reduction with minimal to no scarring? If so, where would the incision be placed? I'm a young male without pierced ears or torn earlobes, and I would like to keep it that way. I do not want a scar that will bother me more than my initial earlobe size. I would appreciate a prompt and informative reply. Thanks
Answer: Can I Have my Earlobes Reduced Without Evident Scarring on the Outer Ear? Yes, you can have ear lobe reduction without prominent scarring on the front side of the ear lobe. Anytime a surgical procedure is done, especially when an incision must be done to reduce the volume, there will be scarring. Potentially, the scar can be hidden for you in natural lines, But there will still be a scarring.

Answer: Earlobe reduction: two potential methods Enlarged earlobes are a common problem that can cause patients to be very self-conscious. Fortunately, they can be reduced in size under local anesthesia Earlobe reduction methods:Wedge excision: A wedge (like a piece of pie) is removed from the earlobe, usually near its junction with the cheek. This leaves a vertical scar at the earlobe-cheek junction. Because of the potential visibility of this scar and the limited amount of skin that can be removed, I use this technique only occasionally.Margin excision: The desired reduced earlobe shape and size are meticulously drawn on the earlobe. The earlobe is trimmed precisely according to these markings. Excess fat (between the two skin surfaces) is removed. The earlobe is stitched. The scar is located along the lower edge of the earlobe and is generally inconspicuous. This is the technique that I usually perform, as the desired size and shape can be precisely planned, and the scar is better hidden in most patients.
