I have prominent ears, but they don’t bother me as much as my earlobes do. They’re kinda fat and makes my ear curl like a letter C. Is an earlobe reduction possible in my case?

Answer: Earlobe Reduction Earlobe surgery is composed of several techniques that can either repair torn earlobes (split earlobes) or correct overly redundant earlobe tissue from piercings or genetics or stretching. Our HIDEF earlobe repair includes a recontouring of the earlobe contour using multilayered sutures to reapproximate the curvature of the earlobe; while simultaneously restoring contour to the ear. In patients with pixie ears after facelift surgery, an alternate technique is used to reduce the dependance of the earlobe on the facelift flap. Facelift surgery can reshape the earlobe and this requires restoration. Sutures are usually taken out within 10 days and the wound is repierced in 4-6 weeks thereafter. Keloid scars must be addressed in patients with known history for scarring.

Answer: Am I a candidate for an earlobe reduction? The ear lobe is them bottom part of the ear, that is the area that is typically pierced. Suboptimal aesthetic contours can often be changed. Volume can be added, the length of the ear lobe can be shortened and problems with piercing holes fixed. These are relatively simple procedures that can be performed in most plastic surgeons office is under local anesthesia. The photos supplied show the upper part of the ear. There are relatively simple procedures that can change the shape of the superior helix although this is less common and although scarring tends to be well hidden, may cause some distortion of the typical contour of the ear. Often years with excessive vertical height can be partially corrected by procedures on the upper part of the ear. Your plastic surgeon after careful evaluation regarding your concerns and possible solutions will discuss with you resulting scarring and possible loss of certain contours in the upper part of the ear.
