I'm in the process of joint the LAPD and need to get my ear lobe sewn up. I know a few people who have had this done and spent less then $1000 for the whole procedure. I've been looking around and sent a few emails, so far the cheapest I've been able to find is $650 each ear.looking for a decent place to do it for under $1000. Also looking for someone who does good tattoo removal. I have to get rid of the ones on my hands.
Answer: Stretched earlobe reconstruction surgery costs vary from case to case 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 procedure is used to restore contour to a pixie ear after facelift surgery or facial surgery. Gauge correction is a popular treatment. Insurance typically does not cover the procedure in California, but it all depends on your insurance policy. Costs are typically between six hundred dollars and one thousand dollars depending on the complexity of the repair. Pixie ear repair involves correction of the facelift flap and is a more complex procedure that requires anesthesia. Aftercare for earlobe repair involves proper wound care, Plato’s Scar Serum at least twice daily, with repiercing of the earlobe if requested, in 6 weeks. It is best to have a plastic surgeon perform the procedure and help with scars in the post-procedure period. Plato’s Scar Serum, wound care, and Neosporin are used. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian

Answer: Ears & tattoos Earlobe repair is a very common procedure. Frequently, we have patients who will have the procedure done the same day as the consultation. Typically, the cost is between $450-850 per earlobe, depending on the severity and the length of the procedure.You may be able to find a doctor who will do this under insurance but i am not aware of any.The length of time the ears have been gauged should have no effect on the procedure. As long as the tissue is no longer irritated or inflamed, there is no reason not to give it a try. Gauged ears are sometimes more difficult than some other earlobe repairs since the tissue is so over stretched, but we are still able to create a natural looking earlobe. You can get your ear re pierced about 6 weeks after and should be included in the pricing. Shop around in your area and see if you can find a plastic surgeon in your budget.Every doctor is different and will charge their own price and depending on color and size and how your tattoo respond to lifting the ink will depend on how many sessions you will need. You need to have a consultation with a doctor to see what they recommend.

Answer: Gauge repairs I've done hundreds of gauge repairs like yours. The cost is around $750 for both. I don't do tattoo removal, though. You usually need to go to a dermatologist that has a certain laser for that.

Answer: Looking to get my ear lobes sewn up and get tattoo removed in Los Angeles Thank you for your question and photographs. Though I can not recommend a specific person for your reconstruction, I would counsel you to see a board certified plastic surgeon to perform your work. Your ears have been dilated to a fairly large size, and a reconstruction that will leave a pleasing appearance will be very difficult.
