Earlobe Repair Surgery, also known as Lobuloplasty, is a minor, highly effective outpatient cosmetic procedure designed to restore the natural shape and contour of a damaged earlobe. Damage to the earlobe is very common and can occur due to:
Acute Trauma: An earring being accidentally caught and ripped out.
Heavy Earrings: Gradual stretching and tearing over years of wearing large, heavy jewelry.
Gauging/Stretching: Repairing earlobes that have been significantly expanded over time.
At Dr. Kumar Skin & Laser Clinic, Jamshedpur, this procedure is performed by a specialist to correct the deformity, allowing you to wear earrings again safely and with restored confidence.
Ear lobe repairing surgery is a simple, safe procedure to fix torn, stretched, or split ear lobes caused by heavy earrings, injuries, or gauges. The treatment is done under local anesthesia and takes only 20–30 minutes. After healing, the ear regains its natural shape and you can re-pierce the area if desired. Results are permanent and natural-looking.
This minor surgical procedure corrects damaged or elongated ear lobes, improving appearance and confidence. Using precise stitching techniques, the doctor reshapes the lobe and closes the tear with minimal discomfort. Recovery is quick, usually within 1–2 weeks. The treatment leaves a very small scar that fades over time, restoring normal ear structure.
Ear lobe repair is ideal for people experiencing accidental tears or sagging from long-term heavy jewellery. The surgery is quick, effective, and performed under local anesthesia. After the procedure, patients experience minimal downtime and can return to daily activities immediately. It delivers a clean, natural contour to the ear, enhancing overall facial aesthetics.
The earlobe area is cleaned and numbed using a local anesthetic injection, ensuring a comfortable, pain-free procedure.
The surgeon carefully excises the torn, stretched, or scarred edges of the damaged tissue.
The remaining edges are then meticulously sutured back together (usually in layers) to reshape and restore the earlobe’s natural contour.
A small dressing or bandage is applied to the site to keep it clean and minimize swelling.
