In single-sided earlobe correction, we focus on repairing one earlobe that has been damaged, such as from an accident or wearing heavy earrings. This often happens when one earlobe is stressed more than the other, or due to uneven damage.
During the procedure, the plastic surgeon makes a small incision to correct the torn tissue. Then the skin is carefully sutured, returning the natural shape of the earlobe.
The procedure takes about 30 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. After the procedure, you can go home immediately. The recovery process is short, with minimal pain and discomfort.
A double-sided earlobe correction is needed when both earlobes are torn or stretched, often from prolonged wear of heavy earrings or multiple holes. This can cause the earlobes to be uneven or prevent jewelry from being worn.
During this procedure, the plastic surgeon corrects both earlobes with small incisions, removing the old tissue. The skin is carefully sutured for a symmetrical and natural result.
The treatment usually takes about 60 minutes for both earlobes and is performed under local anesthesia. Again, you can go home immediately after the procedure and recovery time is short.
The first step toward a successful earlobe correction begins with scheduling an intake consultation at Kliniek het Bolwerk. During this consultation, we discuss your medical history and review how the damage to the earlobe(s) occurred.
We then perform an examination to assess the earlobe(s) up close. In addition, we listen to your wishes and expectations for the correction. Based on this information, we can determine which treatment option best suits your situation, whether it is a single-sided or double-sided earlobe correction.
During the consultation with the plastic surgeon, the details of the procedure are discussed. The plastic surgeon explains the type of damage to the earlobe(s) and possible causes.
The surgeon then discusses available treatment options, whether a single-sided or double-sided correction is possible, and which technique is most appropriate. Possible risks and complications, such as scarring or infection, are also discussed.
In addition, you will be explained about the recovery process and what to expect after the procedure. At the end of this consultation, you will receive a complete treatment plan so that you are well informed and can make an informed decision.
On the day of surgery, the chosen technique is applied depending on the nature and severity of the damage to the earlobe(s). The correction is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not experience any pain during the procedure.
The plastic surgeon makes small incisions to correct the torn or stretched skin of the earlobe(s). Then the edges of the skin are carefully sutured to restore the natural shape of the earlobe(s). After the procedure, you will receive detailed instructions for aftercare and recovery to best support the healing process.
After earlobe correction, it is important to carefully follow the plastic surgeon’s advice. This includes avoiding heavy earrings and protecting the earlobe(s) from tension or friction.
It is essential to keep the wound area clean and wear wound strips until the sutures are removed, usually after one to two weeks. It is also recommended to avoid direct sunlight and limit strenuous physical activity for the first few weeks after the procedure. During aftercare checkups, your recovery process will be closely monitored and any questions can be answered during these appointments.
Although most of the healing process takes place within a few weeks, complete recovery of the earlobe(s) can take several months. Long-term aftercare is very important for optimal healing. Regular use of scar creams to minimize scarring can be part of this.
Regular checkups with the plastic surgeon are essential to monitor the progress of recovery. This long-term aftercare ensures that the final result is as natural and beautiful as possible.

An earlobe correction is not performed if there are certain health risks that increase the risk of complications. For example, this may be the case if you are taking certain medications, such as blood thinners or drugs that negatively affect wound healing. Therefore, it is important to discuss your medical history and any medication use with the plastic surgeon before the procedure.
If you are in poor general health or have active infections in the ear or head area, it may also be better to postpone the procedure until you have fully recovered.

Fibroma removal
After doing a lot of research, I ended up choosing Klinik Het Bolwerk. I have quite a few moles on my face that I wanted to have removed. For me, it’s very important that this is done as beautifully as possible, cosmetically speaking. The procedure was done a little over two weeks ago, and I have to say that I am very satisfied with the size of the scars. I can see that the doctor used the smallest possible method to remove my moles. I really appreciate this, because it will help the result look as good as possible. Next month, I will have the remaining moles removed, as I am very happy with the current progress. In addition, I find the doctor very trustworthy, friendly, and social. All bonus points!

Piercing holes removed around my mouth. Mr Jairath is friendly, explains things clearly and takes his time. I was very nervous and he was very patient with me and not rushed, which you often experience in other clinics where it feels a bit like an assembly line. I am extremely happy with the result, and this is not even the final result yet!

Only an initial consultation that does not lead to treatment.
An earlobe correction is needed when an earlobe is torn or stretched, causing discomfort when wearing earrings. This may be the case with one or both earlobes. In addition to functional problems, it can also be an aesthetic problem, such as if the hole is too large or completely torn.
The procedure takes about 30 minutes per earlobe and is performed under local anesthesia. For a double-sided correction, the procedure usually takes about 60 minutes.
In most cases, earlobe correction is not reimbursed because it is considered a cosmetic procedure. For specific information on possible reimbursements, we recommend contacting your health insurance company.
After the procedure, it is important to follow the plastic surgeon’s aftercare instructions. This includes keeping the wound area clean, wearing wound strips and avoiding heavy earrings and tension on the earlobes during the recovery period. In addition, direct sunlight is not recommended until the earlobes are fully healed.
