How Much Does It Cost to Fix Torn Earlopes That Are Not Torn All the Way Through?

Ear Lobe surgery cost varies significantly for a number of good reasons: Prices vary greatly because the surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. My recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where you want the surgery performed that are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery or Facial Plastic Surgeon you trust, then compare prices between them. See the below link on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for your procedure. General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include:1. Location - Most procedures will be performed in a doctor’s office where costs can be contained. If not will it be performed in a hospital or an independent out- patient facility? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average charges for most areas of the USA.2. Type of Anesthesia – local anesthesia is typical and less costly. If IV sedation or General Anesthesia is used: Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or an RN be used? 3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery 4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc. #earlobesurgery#earloberepair#earloberepaircost

The cost for earlobe repair is a common question. Earlobes requiring repair can be from a variety of reasons. Some may include a torn earlobe from a pulled earring, gauged earlobes that are now unwanted, facelift surgery causing pulled earlobes, or just simply elongated from older age. Because of the variety of different causes, earlobe repair may vary in complexity. A price range would be $500-$900 per earlobe. This will vary also depending on the region of the country you are in and the surgeon's expertise. I have some special techniques that I employ to minimize scarring and notching that can be seen if not reconstructed properly. This repair can be performed comfortably under local anesthesia to avoid any additional fees such as anesthesia fees. Earlobes can be re-pierced 6 weeks later if desired. Consult with an experienced board certified facial plastic / plastic surgeon in you area.

Torn earlobe repairs can be done in the office under local anesthesia. The procedure is relatively straightforward and can be done in under an hour. You may need to have sutures removed a weeks time. We typically charge $500 for one ear and $250 for the second ear if needed.  The procedure would be the same whether you are repairing a partially or fully torn earlobe.

Ear lobe repairs can be done easily and painlessly for roughly $500-750 per earlobe under local anesthesia. Sincerely,

The cost of fixing partially torn ear lobules costs essentially the same as ones that are not torn because the surgery is nearly identical and will run about $500 per ear lobule.

Heavy earrings and trauma to the ears are the two most common causes of elongation of the piercing sites. They can be closed quite easily in the office under local anesthesia. Basically the procedure involves excising the old track and closing the earlobe in 3 layers. The procedure takes around 25-30 minutes to perform. The stitches are taken out in 6 days and the ears can be pierced again in ~8 weeks. At our center, the usual cost for this procedure varies from $500-700.

Ear lobe piercing repair for slightly larger ear piercing may or may not require repair.  Factors which must be accounted for are:


Size of earlobe (smaller earlobes have limited real estate and removal and closure of hole may lead to even smaller lobes post procedure)

Size of ear piercing site 

Age of patient

Propensity for keloids or hypertrophic scars


Repair of ear lobe piercings can be a highly rewarding procedure for patient and surgeon alike, so that patients can now wear earrings with confidence.

To fixed  torn earlobes  whether they are partially torn or fully torn through, usually costs roughly $600  per ear. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient surgical procedure in our office/ outpatient surgery center
