Renuance cosmetic surgery made it very affordable for me to get an eyelid lift. They are seeing me regularly to make sure that I heal completely. Dr Ford and her staff are very pleasant and helpful.

I came in as a first time patient and I was scheduled with Chelsea. I decided to get cheek fillers for the first time ever and I am so happy I did. I first met with Dr. Debbie, whose meticulous approach began with a thorough discussion of medical conditions and potential reactions, ensuring a tailored experience. I then met with Chelsea, who was my injector. I was super nervous but throughout the process, she ensured my comfort and well being easing the experience. What truly sets Chelsea apart is her personable and professional approach. Her genuine care for me as a person created a welcoming environment, enhancing the overall quality of care. I’m so happy so far with my results. Also, the front desk staff are amazing; very knowledgeable and so very helpful.

For years I wasted money on procedures that never gave me the results I wanted. I would be so disappointed that I would want to cry Not this time. Dr. Hill listened to me and now when I look in the mirror and I can't believe the results I interviewed several Cosmetic Surgeons before I met with Dr. Hill. Once I met with Dr. HilI knew I had chosen the best and the results prove I was right I wanted my neck and face to be tight and Dr. Hill performed what he called an extreme face and necklift. It looks natural and i couldn't be happier I plan on going back to have my forehead done I will never go anywhere else Thank you Dr. Hill

The doctor asked me about my expectations, explained everything I need to know about the procedures, showed me some before/after pics, and gave me a few suggestions. I was able to schedule my surgery just after the appt, everything is set.

From pre-op, surgery and post-op, doctor has been very professional. Answering all my questions and making me feel care as a patient.

I had old implants of 35 years taken out and replaced. Dr. Eichenberg gave me exactly what I asked for. I love my new breast.

Dr. Hill’s professionalism and expertise were immediately evident throughout our meeting. His clear explanations and thorough approach helped me understand the details of the procedures, making the entire process feel both informative and reassuring. Dr. Hill’s kindness and genuine concern for my well-being truly set him apart. He took the time to address all of my questions, providing a wealth of information that eased my concerns and built my confidence in the decision-making process.

I also want to acknowledge the friendly and supportive environment created by the office staff, which further enhanced my overall experience. The combination of Dr. Hill’s expertise and the excellent service from your team has left me with a positive impression and a sense of trust in your practice.

From the moment I checked, Jacqueline my intake nurse was so kind & explained everything that was going on. The anesthesiologist was also really kind & put me at ease. When I was wheeled in for the actual surgery the rest of the staff was welcoming & let me know I was in good hands. Dr. Ford is not just kind but extremely knowledgeable and talented, she exceeded my expectations of the outcome of my surgery.

Chelsea is amazing!! I love her work because she always recommend me exactly what I’m looking for (naturally look) and also she’s super kind :)

Dr. Ford was extremely thorough with explaining the procedure and what to expect. Her bedside manner was warm and compassionate. I felt like I was sitting with a best friend. I never felt rushed or dismissed. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon.

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.
