Earlobe Repair

Our earlobes are quite delicate and can be susceptible to various forms of damage:

• Torn Earlobes: This often occurs due to earrings catching on clothing, being pulled by children, or general trauma, resulting in a split or tear through the earlobe.
• Stretched Earlobes (Gauge Repair): Individuals who have worn ear gauges or stretchers for extended periods may find their earlobes permanently stretched. While some stretching can revert, significant stretching often requires intervention to restore a more natural appearance.
• Creased or Enlarged Piercings: Even without a full tear, prolonged wearing of heavy earrings can stretch and thin the piercing hole, making it difficult to wear earrings securely.

• Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with a qualified medical professional. This is a crucial step where your earlobes will be assessed, your medical history reviewed, and your specific concerns and desired outcomes discussed. This is also your opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
• Procedure: Earlobe repair is typically performed as a minor in-clinic procedure, often under local anaesthesia. You'll be comfortable and awake during the process.
• Recovery: After the procedure, you'll receive detailed aftercare instructions. The recovery period is usually relatively short, with stitches typically removed within a week or two. Swelling and minor bruising are common but generally subside quickly.
• Results: Once healed, your earlobe should appear more natural and intact, allowing for re-piercing if you choose.
