Is There a Procedure to Just Reduce Earlobe Size and How Much is Cost?

Earlobe reduction is a simple  procedure. There are a number of different ways to achieve this.  The technique I prefer involves excising the excess portion along the edge of the lobe.  The resulting scar  is usually quite inconspicuous.  The procedure is done under local anesthesia and should take less than an hour to do both ears. I don't even use bandages on them.  The cost will vary depending on the complexity of the procedure but probably no more than about $1000 for both.

  This is a good question and one that I hear from patients often.  The answer is yes, it is possible to reduce the size of the ear lobes, repair torn ear lobes, and even fix enlarged earring holes.  These procedures are easy, require minimal downtime, can be performed in the office under local anesthesia, and are fairly inexpensive.  Most of these procedures can be performed between $300- 500 per ear.

   Scarring is minimal in most instances and is usually nicely covered up when the ears are re-pierced. However, some people can develop thick scars, called keloids, in the ears after surgery or piercings.  If this has happend to you then you should be careful when having any of these procedure done.  Most people heal quickly and sutures are removed in 7 days.  You can then have your ears re-pierced after 6 weeks.
