I woke up to see my tragus ripped I had it pierced for 8 years and this happened. Will it fix on its own or what can I do about it? How much would it cost ?
Answer: Ripped tragus That's an easy fix that should take about ten minutes. I would charge about $300 to fix it so you should call around to try to get a price quote. You can email the photos to the doctors to get quotes so you don't need to waste time going on multiple consults. I have patients email me little stuff like this all the time.

Answer: Recommend getting earlobe repair 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: Tragus ripped out Dear Sktyu,The tragus most likely will not close on its own as it looks like it has already healed in this way. I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon who can fix this for you using local anesthesia. The price ranges depending on the doctor and the location. Best regards, Nima Shemirani

Answer: Travis ripped out, will this heal on its own? Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. If this is a fresh injury I would advocate seeing a plastic surgeon for repair of the injury. If this area has healed on its own from the inside out corrective surgery will be needed to fix the tear. Hope this helps.
