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. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon
Thank you for your question. Without pictures or an exam, it can be hard to answer your question in particular. But broadly speaking, yes, there are many surgical options to repair earlobe deformity. See a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for an exam and to discuss options. Good luck!

This can also be called earlobe reconstructive surgery or split earlobe repair. If it is done for cosmetic reasons, it will not be covered by insurance.

Earlobe repair is a common procedure in our plastic surgery office. I employ a technique that involves removing the excess scar tissue and reapproximating the tissue planes in multiple layers to recontour the earlobe after gauges, torn earlobes, or stretched out earlobes. Sometimes, the same...

From your description, it sounds as though the back of the earlobe is wounded and this is most likely from the earring backing/retainer. The risk is that if there is infection there, keeping the earring in place would not be recommended. If no infection, then possibly allowing the wound to h...
