Earlobe Repair Surgery in Montreal

The two most common earlobe repair inquiries relate to sagging or tired looking earlobes. Saggy earlobes naturally occur over time, particularly for those that have had their ears pierced or stretched, either by ear gauges or the use of heavy earrings or studs. 

An earlobe repair procedure helps restore a more youthful, balanced look to your ears, perfect for anyone bothered by elongated, stretched, or aged-looking lobes.

Reasons for Cosmetic Ear Surgery

Sometimes stretching your earlobes using gauges or heavy studs can even lead to a torn earlobe. Split earlobe repair is actually a very common procedure for those that have stretched earlobes. Split and torn earlobe repair is something plastic surgeons are often consulted on. 

Luckily, ear lobe surgery is not an overly complex procedure; the correction required can be accomplished through a relatively quick, minor surgery using local anesthesia. A fatter looking earlobe can also be reduced in size, making your ear lobes look smaller and thinner. This is known as an earlobe reduction, and is frequently done when the lobe appears puffy, stretched, or aged. 

The shape and size of the lower part of your ears, specifically your earlobes, contributes to the overall aesthetic of your ear. Reshaping, repairing, or resizing this part of your ears is easily performed with this type of cosmetic surgery. Don’t let saggy or split earlobes undermine your self esteem, call us for an earlobe surgery consultation. We’ll guide you through the process, whether you want to correct large holes left by earrings or simply want a more youthful contour.

Procedure For Earlobe Reduction Surgery

Most treatments may only take between 15 and 40 minutes to complete. Recovery takes two to three days, and although the shape is usually immediately improved, it takes two to three months to see the final earlobe size and shape. 

It is a minimally invasive procedure that is not usually painful. Over-the-counter pain medication is often enough to keep you comfortable. We also advise avoiding any pressure on the area, and refraining from a new piercing or wearing heavy jewelry again too soon to prevent infection or complications that could slow healing.

Most patients find they heal properly with minimal care, and return to their regular activities within 2-3 days without issue.
