How old must you be to get earlobe reconstruction surgery? (fix stretched ears)

 Hi & thank you for your question.If you are under the age of 18 years old you will need  parental consent and a parent must accompany you to the appointment. Earlobe repair is a very common procedure and is easily tolerated.I recommend you contact a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.Hope this helps

You must be 18 years or older, unless you have parental permission and the doctor is ok with doing this on some one your age. 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

Absolutely!If you're under the age of 18, you will need a parental consent. Definitely see a plastic surgeon who is experienced with closing stretched or "gauged" ear lobes.  The closure of these ear lobes is more complex than closing a torn or spilt ear lobe piercing. Best of luck to you!
