Earlobe Repair FAQs
How long does earlobe repair surgery take?
Most procedures take 30-60 minutes per ear under local anesthesia. You’ll be able to drive yourself home afterward and return to normal activities immediately.
When can I re-pierce my ears after repair?
We recommend waiting at least 3 months after surgery before re-piercing. Your surgeon will examine your healing during follow-up visits and let you know when it’s safe to pierce again.
Will there be visible scars?
Our surgeons use precise techniques to minimize scarring. Most scars are very fine and placed in natural creases where they’re hardly noticeable. Scars typically fade significantly within 6-12 months.
How much does earlobe repair cost?
The cost varies depending on the extent of repair needed and whether one or both ears require treatment. During your phone screening, we’ll provide a clear price range. Many patients find our procedure more affordable than expected.
What is recovery like?
Recovery is typically quick and comfortable. You may experience mild tenderness for a few days. Most patients return to work immediately. We’ll provide detailed care instructions to protect your results.
Can you fix very large gauge holes?
Yes, we can repair most gauge holes, regardless of size. Our surgeons use special techniques to reconstruct the earlobe tissue, creating a natural appearance even after significant stretching.
How soon will I see results?
You’ll notice immediate changes after surgery, though some swelling is normal. Final results develop over 3-6 months as healing completes and scars mature.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during and after the procedure. Local anesthesia keeps you comfortable during surgery, and any post-procedure soreness is usually mild and brief.
Can I combine earlobe repair with other procedures?
Yes, many patients combine earlobe repair with other facial procedures like facelifts or neck lifts. We’ll discuss combination options during your consultation.
How long do results last?
Earlobe repair results are permanent when you follow proper aftercare instructions. If you choose to wear earrings again, we recommend avoiding heavy piercings that might cause new stretching.
