Face Earlobe Repair

Ear lobe reconstruction can correct stretched or ‘gauged’ earlobes. Performed under magnified vision, earlobe repair aims to restore a damaged, elongated, or torn earlobe back to its aesthetic appearance. Here at Contour Clinics, we see an increasing number of people seeking to reverse their torn, gauged or stretched earlobes. These earlobe abnormalities are often as a result of accidents, stretching, injury, or wearing heavy earrings for prolonged periods.

Surgical reconstruction offers a convenient option, performed under local anaesthetic in under 45 minutes. Scarring is usually minimal, and can be treated with our specialist laser scar removal. Re-piercing may be possible 3-6 months post repair.

The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is entailed in an earlobe reconstruction?

After a detailed consent process, our cosmetic physician will administer a local anaesthetic to numb the area. Skin around the stretched lobe will be surgically revised under magnified vision, reshaping the ear back to its original contour. The specific technique used depends on the extent and complexity of your earlobe abnormality. Once scar and excess tissue is removed, the earlobe is sutured in place with ultra-fine stitches. A dressing is applied, and you follow up with our cosmetic physician in a week.

How long does earlobe repair take?

Ear lobe reconstruction takes 30-45 minutes depending on the complexity of the damage to each earlobe.

Where is the earlobe repair performed?

Earlobe repairs is performed in our on-site surgical suite at Contour Clinics Five Dock.

Will the procedure result in a scar?

<h3><span style=”font-size: 18px;”>Scarring is often minimal and fades over several weeks. If scarring was to become an issue, Contour clinics are specialists in scar reduction laser therapy. Speak with one of our cosmetic physicians for an individualised assessment.

How much downtime can I expect?

Recovery following earlobe repair is usually short and straight forward. Patients can return to their usual daily routine immediately after repair. Mild pain may be felt for a day or so once the local anaesthesia wears off. Exercise should be avoided on the day of the procedure, but can resume the day after the procedure.

You will leave the clinic with a small dressing post procedure, that can be removed after 1 day. You may shower 24 hours post procedure, but should avoid submerging the site until 3 days post removal of sutures. An antibiotic ointment should be applied to the repair line 3 times/day for 2 weeks to prevent infection and promote healing.

What are the potential risks of earlobe repair?

There are minimal risks associated with earlobe repair. Common to any minor surgical procedure, risks of earlobe repair include: infection, scarring, and haematoma. Risks more specific to your situation can be discussed with your cosmetic physician prior to the procedure.
