Answer: Attached Earlobe Repair Earlobe surgery is composed of several techniques that can either repair torn earlobes (split earlobes) or correct overly redundant earlobe tissue from piercings or genetics or stretching. Our HIDEF earlobe repair includes a recontouring of the earlobe contour using multilayered sutures to reapproximate the curvature of the earlobe; while simultaneously restoring contour to the ear. In patients with pixie ears after facelift surgery, an alternate technique is used to reduce the dependance of the earlobe on the facelift flap. Facelift surgery can reshape the earlobe and this requires restoration. Sutures are usually taken out within 10 days and the wound is repierced in 4-6 weeks thereafter. Keloid scars must be addressed in patients with known history for scarring.

Answer: Yes there is a procedure to make attached ears look more natural Hi and thank you for your question. There are procedures for making attached earlobes look more detached and look like natural dangling earlobes. Some patients are just bormm with attached lobes and some can acquire inadvertently from a facelift. There is a surgical solution either way. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to review your options.

Answer: Earlobe surgery for "attached" earlobes This is a procedure that is occasionally performed and is generally done under local anesthesia in an office setting. If you're seriously considering a procedure for the earlobes be sure to choose a surgeon with board certification in Otolaryngology, Plastic Surgery or Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgery.

Answer: Treatment of attached earlobes The majority of people have ear lobes that are separate from the face -- they dangle a bit. If you have earlobes that are attached to the face, they can be separated and dangling earlobes created. This procedure can be done under local anesthesia. You should speak to a plastic surgeon about anticipated scars, however.Elliot W. Jacobs, MD, FACSNew York City
