What Is Earlobe Repair?
Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure designed to correct split, torn, or stretched earlobes. These issues are often caused by:
- Heavy earrings or gauges
- Sudden trauma or accidental tearing

The procedure involves carefully removing damaged tissue and reconstructing the earlobe to achieve a balanced, natural shape. Earlobe repair is typically performed in-office with local anesthesia and takes less than an hour.
