Ear Lobe Repair in Virginia Beach, Virginia

Earlobes play an important role in shaping your facial features and overall appearance. When they’re in good condition, they complement your natural beauty and enhance your style. However, damaged or stretched earlobes can impact your confidence and self-esteem. The damage may be caused by aging, injury, wearing heavy jewelry, genetics, or other factors. These issues can alter the shape and symmetry of your earlobes, affecting how you feel about yourself. An earlobe repair surgery will help restore symmetry and balance, enhance your appearance, and give you a refreshed, youthful look.

The Ideal Candidates for Ear Lobe Repair

Anyone with stretched, torn, or damaged earlobes may be a good candidate for an earlobe repair surgery. You should also be in good overall health (without active infections or skin conditions) and have enough healthy tissue. Candidates must have realistic expectations and commit to follow the post-treatment plan to achieve the best results.

Ear Lobe Repair Procedure

Before the procedure, our team will assess the damage and review your options and expectations to determine the best approach.

During the procedure, the area is cleaned, and local anesthesia is applied to ensure our patients are comfortable throughout the process. Dr. Choe will then mark the area to guide the incision. If there is damaged or excess tissue, it is carefully trimmed or removed. He will then reshape the earlobe to restore its natural appearance and close the incision areas with sutures. The whole procedure may take 30-90 minutes, depending on the extent of the damage.

After the procedure, Dr. Choe will cover the area with a bandage to expedite healing and reduce the chances of infection.

What To Expect and Results

You should expect mild swelling, redness, and tenderness. The area may also feel slightly tight as it heals after a torn ear lobe repair.

We will remove sutures after the first week and replace bandages with a lighter dressing. Ideally, you should avoid sleeping on the treated side and refrain from wearing earrings (for about two months) to facilitate healing.

Full recovery takes six to eight weeks, although the earlobe will continue to improve over time. The final results typically appear a few months after the procedure. You will notice a more symmetrical and natural-looking earlobe with no visible scars.
