About the earlobe repair procedure

• The degree of the earlobe tear helps to determine the type of repair needed. Small flaps are sometimes used to redesign the ear lobe.

• Absorbable sutures are typically used and due to their color and small size they well camouflaged.
• Ear lobe surgery is almost always an outpatient procedure that can be done in an office setting under local anaesthesia only.

How long will my results last?

There is almost no discomfort after an ear lobe repair. After an ear lobe repair, the stitches are usually removed or dissolve on their own in about a week. Ear lobe surgery results are permanent.
