Jewelry can damage the ears through ripping and stretching the lobes. Torn earlobes can also be caused by sensitivity or an allergic reaction to the metal in the post of an earring. Ears can suffer tears from clip-on earrings that restrict blood flow and gauges that stretch the lobes over time. Torn earlobe repair plastic surgery can restore your appearance so you can wear your favorite jewelry again.

What Does Torn Earlobe Repair Surgery Entail?

Torn earlobe repair surgery is a simple cosmetic procedure that can be done using local anesthesia in approximately 30 minutes. Damaged tissues from the ear are removed and stitches are placed to promote healing. The stitches can be removed about a week later. Pressure on the ears should be avoided until the stitches are removed. Scarring is minimal, and you may treat any discomfort with over-the-counter medication.

You can return to normal activities immediately. Ears can be re-pierced within a couple of months after the procedure. It is recommended that you do not get the same spot pierced, as this can cause complications.
