Earlobe Repair Houston | Torn Earlobe Correction | Dr. Do

Correct Torn, Stretched, or Gauge-Damaged Earlobes

Earlobe repair is a quick and effective cosmetic surgery procedure to correct ears stretched by tribal ear piercing (flesh tunnels) or split earlobes that are torn when normal earrings rip, which is more likely to occur for those who constantly wear heavy earrings. Additionally, big holes in the earlobe from big plug earrings that stretch the hole intentionally can be repaired. We also perform an earlobe reduction procedure to reshape and resize the fleshy lobe part of the ear.

About the Procedure

Earlobe repair is performed in our treatment room under local anesthesia, with no general anesthesia required. Usually, the procedure takes around an hour to complete. The repair first involves “freshening” the edges of the torn lobe by removing small amounts of skin. Then, using fine sutures, the earlobe is meticulously repaired to reconstruct a normal, rounded earlobe that matches your natural ear shape.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Earlobe Repair?

Earlobe repair is appropriate for adults with torn, split, or stretched earlobes — whether from long-term earring wear, gauge plugs, trauma, or natural aging. The procedure requires no general anesthesia and involves minimal downtime. Most patients return to work and normal activities the same day or the day after. Dr. Do will evaluate your earlobe condition during your free consultation and recommend the most appropriate repair technique.
