DESCRIPTION
Earlobe Repair - Adelaide
Like objects around us that wear out over time and with use, certain parts of our body are naturally prone to changes too. Our earlobes are no exception and suffer from stretching and loss of volume. Our earlobes are often overlooked and neglected when it comes to our aesthetic appearance and goals.
You are most likely wearing a pair or two of earrings as you are reading this; there is nothing wrong with this, though, as wearing earrings can show a sense of style. But did you know that wearing earrings for a long time can not only cause redness? It can also cause earring holes to gradually enlarge.
Like most areas of our face, earlobes can become droopy and deflated, too, as time goes by, due to a decrease in collagen and elastin production in our body. Advanced Cosmetic Medicine’s Earlobe Rejuvenation is here to do the wonders on your earlobe concerns.
ACM is here to restore your earlobes, creating a well-shaped and youthful look.
Our qualified professionals are here to tend to your needs and concerns.

How it works

Why have earlobe rejuvenation?
Earlobe repair for stretched and torn earlobes
Earlobe repair for stretched or torn earlobes is a common cosmetic procedure aimed at restoring the natural appearance and structural integrity of the earlobes. Stretched or torn earlobes can result from a variety of factors, including wearing heavy earrings over an extended period, trauma, or deliberate stretching practices like gauging. These conditions can cause the earlobes to become elongated, thin, or even completely split, leading to cosmetic concerns and discomfort.
The surgical techniques used for earlobe repair in these cases depend on the severity and nature of the damage. For minor tears or stretched piercings, primary closure may be sufficient. This involves trimming away any damaged tissue and suturing the edges back together to facilitate healing and restore the earlobe's shape.
In cases of more extensive damage or stretched earlobes, flap reconstruction or Z-plasty techniques may be employed. Flap reconstruction involves using adjacent tissue to fill in the defect and reconstruct the earlobe's shape, while Z-plasty utilizes Z-shaped incisions to redistribute tissue tension and improve scar appearance.
For patients with significant tissue loss or distortion, cartilage grafting may be necessary to provide structural support and restore the earlobe's contour. This involves harvesting cartilage from another area of the body, such as the ear's upper portion, and grafting it into the earlobe to rebuild its shape and strength.
Regardless of the specific technique used, earlobe repair surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Recovery times vary depending on the extent of the repair but generally involve minimal discomfort and downtime. Patients are advised to avoid wearing earrings or putting pressure on the earlobes during the healing process to ensure optimal results.
Overall, earlobe repair for stretched or torn earlobes can provide significant cosmetic and functional improvements, restoring confidence and comfort for individuals affected by these conditions. Consulting with a qualified plastic surgeon or dermatologist can help determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on individual needs and goals.
