What Is Earlobe Repair | Earlobe Reduction?
Earlobe damage is different for each patient. Stretched or damaged earlobes may not cause medical concern, but they can impact your confidence and are often difficult to hide. Collagen production slows as we age, causing the earlobes to elongate and stretch piercings, making earrings sit lower than desired. Without repair, stretched or damaged earlobes may increase the appearance of facial aging.
Earlobe repair corrects torn, damaged, sagging, or stretched earlobes. Restoring the earlobes creates a natural-looking balance and symmetrical shape for a more youthful appearance.
With minimal downtime and discomfort, earlobe repair corrects or alters your earlobes for better proportions by fixing issues, such as:
- Congenital anomalies
- Irregularly shaped earlobes
- Enlarged earlobes
- Achieve a balanced, symmetrical appearance
- Traumatic injuries
- Split or torn earlobes
- Stretching from gauges or heavy earrings
- Age-related drooping, sagging, wrinkling, or thin earlobes
As the extent of earlobe damage varies by patient, Dr. Brys personalizes each earlobe repair to deliver natural-looking plastic surgery results. Techniques include:
- Earlobe reduction restores balance to the lobes and the rest of the ear
- Earlobe split repair corrects torn or stretched earlobes caused by heavy earrings
- Keloid scar removal addresses scars that develop around piercings
- Ear gauge or stretched earlobe repair to address ear gauge damage and create symmetry
- Hyaluronic acid placement to address thin sagging earlobes returns youthful plumpness to the lobe

Earlobe Repair | Earlobe Reduction Procedure Overview
Before your earlobe repair or reduction surgery, you will meet with Dr. Brys to review the details of your procedure and answer any final questions. Earlobe repair is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require general anesthesia. Dr. Brys uses local anesthesia so that you do not feel any pain during the procedure.
Dr. Brys will begin your earlobe repair by first drawing the proposed repair on your earlobe. She will then numb the area with local anesthesia and create an incision in the earlobe to remove the damaged tissue. She will then carefully close the incision with sutures.
Earlobe repair typically takes less than one hour, depending on the extent of your procedure.
Earlobe Reduction | Earlobe Repair Recovery and Healing
Following your earlobe repair or reduction procedure, your incisions will be covered with antibiotic ointment and a bandage. Sutures are typically removed within 7 to 10 days. It’s important to expect redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area for a few days. These effects should resolve quickly without further intervention.
To aid the recovery process, Dr. Brys recommends:
One to two weeks post-surgery:
- Rest and recover for one to two days.
- Use over-the-counter medications, such as Tylenol, to reduce discomfort.
- Keep the incision clean with hydrogen peroxide.
- Apply Vaseline or over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to keep the incisions moist.
- Avoid touching earlobes to ensure the area stays clean and free from infection.
- Protect ears from sun exposure as UV rays can cause scar tissue to darken or thicken.
- Wait at least two months before piercing earlobes again.
- Avoid wearing dangling or heavy earrings without proper support.
