What would it cost to have my stretched (normal) ear piercing repaired? (Photo)

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.

Thank you for your question and photo.  We typically do this procedure in our office under local anesthesia.  We usually close the incision in layers to take the tension off of the incision.  This usually leads to a nicer incision line.  Please call the office for more details and the current costs.  Costs will typically depend on the complexity,  and how much time, the procedure will take.  Costs will vary from city to city.  We usually have our patients wait 3 months before re-piercing the earlobe, and re-pierce it 3 mm from the repair.  Best to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Otolaryngologist (ENT).  They will help you make a plan to achieve your goals.

Thank you for your question. Surgical fees vary from practice to practice. That being said, we charge $650.00 to repair one earlobe in the office under local anesthesia. Please be certain to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. 

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  Cost for this type of repair can run between 500-1000 dollars per ear depending on the location.  Be sure to see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation, they can maximize your results while performing the reconstruction in their office.  Hope this helps.

Earlobe repair is a common procedure that is done in the office under local anesthesia.  Cost in my practice is around $500 for one earlobe and $750 for both ears.  The repair takes less than an hour and most people can return to normal activity right away.  I recommend waiting at least 6 weeks before re-piercing ears after the procedure.

Thanks for your question. We do this sort of procedure very commonly. It takes about 30 minutes, local anesthesia, and very little discomfort. I usually bring patients back in 6 weeks, and we can re-pierce the earlobe if you would like, but in a better location. We typically charge $500 for one side. Best wishes.

Your stretched ear piercing can be repaired in the office under local anesthesia. Cost can vary from surgeon to surgeon and geography, but will likely cost somewhere between $600-1000 for both ears. Good luck!

Thank you for your inquiry. Earlobe repair in unfortunately very popular. That being said, it should be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon for best results. Price will vary according to geographical location , surgeon experience and complexity of surgery. In Montreal the price typically varies between $500-$1500. Best of luck.

To properly assess the cost of your surgery I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon experienced in your procedure through an appointment. Based on your photo it could range based on your location and other factors but I would say you could expect anywhere from $600-1200 for the repair.

Seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon as pricing varies from surgeon to surgeon. Price can range from $650-$1000. You will be able to re-pierce your ears 2 months after you have the earlobe repair done. Good luck, Dean Vistnes.
