What is the Cost for Keloid Removal on the Earlobe? (photo)

Keloids and hypertrophic scars
are common problems with piercings and gauged plugs. They can be excised, treated with
lasers, injections of kenalog and 5fu.
Pressure clips are sometimes useful during the healing process. Unfortunately,
there is some tendency for recurrence.



How much does this cost?

Earlobe reduction usually cost
between $500 and $1500 dollars depending
upon the complexity of the correction, the surgeons experience, and city in
which the surgery is being performed. Most offices can arrange for payment
plans. Banks, credit cards, Care Credit,
Proper are just a few of the companies that offer plans. Many are no interest for 12-18 months.

Geographic costs can be found on
Real Self or the websites for the American Society of plastic surgeons for the

Earlobe keloids can be surgically excised to remove the keloid.  In most cases, there remains a chance for recurrence of the keloids, which requires longterm follow up. 

Thank you for the question and picture.
You have a keloid of the earlobe present. Excision of the keloid does carry the risk of recurrence. There are a variety of modalities of treatment after excision that may be helpful in preventing recurrence of the keloid. These modalities may include pressure, use of injected steroids, and/or radiation therapy.
I would suggest in-person consultation with well experienced plastic surgeons in your area.

Cost of the procedure(s) will depend on exactly what course of treatment is decided upon.
Best wishes.
