Is it possible to have earlobe attachment surgery?

Question

I would like to get my earlobes attached to the side of the head. My earlobes hang freely and I do not like the look of it. Is it possible to get such a surgery done? Are there any risks involved? Is it a common procedure? Thank you

Earlobe reduction surgery and earlobe pexy is a wonderful procedure and can recreate the contours of the earlobe. This is a surgery I have performed in the past with excellent results. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

The surgery you describe is possible but it is hard to tell if you are a candidate without photos.  Consider re-posting with some pictures.

Earlobes occaisionally become attached to the cheek as a result of overly aggressive removal of skin during a facelift.  This is an unnatural appearance that we try to avoid and often correct.Although this may be performed intentionally you may be disappointed in the long run.Please use this information when consulting in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions.

It is possible to attach your earlobes but without seeing a photograph it would be hard to say what you really need.  It might be that you need an earlobe reduction?  Please post a photograph.  Thanks so much.

hi redreose.  I believe this would be a pretty simple operation. Find a PS that you are comfortable with and that is comfortable with doing this type of procedure.  I would not think that there would be any risks and a very short recovery period.
