I am 29 years old, recently been through a very stressful life event (still ongoing). Had the crease on my left ear since I was in my early 20's and had my ear pierced, its developed further recently. The right ear crease has appeared all of a sudden. I am very concerned, it bothers me when I look in the mirror. Can you tell me whether or not this is reversible? Every time I look in a mirror it reminds me of the stressful event I am going through and it gives me further anxiety, no wrinkles.
Answer: Earlobe surgeryto correct an earlobe "crease" Small deformities of the earlobes can easily be improved with either a surgical procedure (earlobe repair) or with HA fillers. In my practice we almost exclusively perform earlobe repair for any earlobe deformity, whether caused by earlobe trauma or congenital / developmental issues. Earlobe repair can easily be performed under local anesthesia in the office and has is often considerably inexpensive. Be sure to consult with a board certified surgeon that performs a lot of earlobe repair and earlobe reconstruction procedures and be sure to review a portfolio of the surgeons own earlobe repair patients prior to making a decision to proceed with surgery.

Answer: Possible to Diminish It is possible to make the crease slightly less noticeable, but will never truly be able to get rid of the scar. I think your goal should be to level out the scar with the remaining skin of the earlobe so that the indention is not so noticeable. This can be done with a simple scar excision and closure.

Answer: Reversible with Earlobe surgery Our office repairs earlobes after a traumatic tear of earrings, gauge piercings, or after a facelift in which the earlobes are stretched. 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 multi-layered 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: Reversing Earlobe Creases The earlobe can be surgically repaired, or an injectable such as Juvederm, or for longer lasting results, fat injections with the patients own fat, can last for several years. Good luck.
