Earlobe Repair Surgery for Torn Earlobes

The earlobes are one of the weakest parts of the ear and are more prone to tearing. Many suffer from torn earlobes due to accidents, piercings or injuries. Here we will be discussing the treatment to repair the earlobe which is called as the earlobe repair surgery.

What is Earlobe Repair ?

Earlobe repair is performed to fix back ears that have been torn due to piercings, or other sorts of traumas. Since the earlobes are made of skin and fat, it is much more prone to tearing compared to the other parts of the ear. Earlobe repair is not for protruding ears, it can't be performed to treat such a condition.

What are the procedures of earlobe repair surgery ?

The earlobe repair surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. That is why only local anesthesia will be needed for you. The doctor will snip the skin which lines the tear, removes excess tissue if necessary and finally stitches the earlobe back to the normal condition. The duration of the surgery depends on the number of piercings and the extent of the damage. The entire procedure does not take more than an hour. 

How about the recovery post earlobe repair surgery?

Recovery post earlobe repair surgery is not that difficult. Just after the surgery, your repaired earlobe will be covered using a small piece of gauze. You can remove the gauze on the second day of the surgery, but it should be made sure that you keep the repaired area clean. You must also apply triple antibiotic ointment daily.

Until the sutures are removed, do not apply any sort of pressure on the ears. Try not to sleep on your ears. The sutures might be removed after a week following the surgery. You will be able to resume your normal activities almost instantly after the surgery.

When can you re-pierce the ear?

You will be able to re-pierce your ear after 4 or 6 weeks after the earlobe repair surgery.
