Earlobe Repair in Miami

Why Consider an Earlobe Repair Surgery?

Earlobe repair or earlobe reduction is a surgical procedure used to address issues related to stretched, stretched-out, or torn earlobes. It helps improve the appearance of the ear and correct any deformity resulting from damage caused by jewelry such as heavy earrings or an injury. It may also help reduce self-consciousness about the appearance of the ears and improve overall confidence levels.

If you have the desire to repair holes, stretch, or lengthen your earlobes, then you may be a candidate for an earlobe repair surgery. This surgery can fix:

• Enlarged piercing holes
• Asymmetrical earlobes
• Stretched earlobes
• Torn earlobes

Dr. Bared’s Approach to a Earlobe Repair Procedure

If you have decided to have more extensive work done on your ear with an otoplasty, you can visit our page to read more there. Earlobe repair will only affect a small portion of your ear, and won’t alter the overall appearance like an intensive otoplasty procedure.

If you decide to opt for more extensive ear work, your earlobe repair will happen while he performs the rest of what you need. However, if all you need is earlobe repair, this can be achieved right in the office with a local anesthetic as is an outpatient procedure. It is a quick and relatively painless surgery. Here is a general idea of what to expect:

Step 1: Local Anesthesia in the Earlobe Repair Procedure

You won’t need anything stronger than this, as the procedure is fairly quick and simple. Dr. Bared will explain this to you during the consultation.

Step 2: The incision in the Earlobe Repair Procedure

The doctor will create raw edges of skin, which can then be brought together to heal into one whole piece. Various surgical techniques can be used depending on if you want to shorten your earlobes by removing excess skin and fatty tissue. You can ask the doctor exactly what he will need to do for your particular procedure, so you know what will be happening.

Step 3: Sutures done in the Earlobe Repair Procedure

Typically, suture removal is one week after the cosmetic surgery. Dr. Bared will explain what you can expect as well as postoperative care.

Recovery and Results from an Earlobe Repair

Dr. Bared will give you instructions for the care of your repaired earlobe, to ensure a healthy recovery. You can expect some mild discomfort, which may be alleviated with counter pain medication such as Tylenol. There may also be itching or tenderness, but it will heal within a few days. You will apply antibiotic ointment twice a day for 5 to 7 days. To further improve the healing process, Dr. Bared may have you use silicone sheeting tape on your earlobes at night starting about 3 weeks after your procedure. Your earlobe will be as good as new, and you can follow up with Dr. Bared to make sure. You should be able to return to wearing earrings in about three months.
