Earlobe Repair Surgery
in Orlando, FL

Earlobe repair surgery is a straightforward in-office procedure performed under local anesthesia to correct stretched piercing holes and torn earlobes. Earlobes are composed primarily of soft tissue, and prolonged use of heavy earrings can cause piercing holes to gradually stretch or elongate, sometimes leading to a partial or complete tear. This can make wearing earrings difficult, as they may slip down or fall out when the piercing no longer provides adequate support.

Fortunately, earlobe repair can effectively restore the earlobe’s natural shape by removing the damaged piercing tract and carefully reconstructing the tissue. After approximately two months of healing, the earlobe can be safely re-pierced, allowing patients to wear earrings again. To reduce the risk of recurrence, re-piercing is typically performed in a slightly different location than the original hole.
