Earlobe correction

For some people, a torn earlobe can be a disruptive factor in their daily lives. It can affect your self-confidence and cause discomfort when wearing earrings or other jewelry. Some signs that may indicate you suffer from a split or stretched earlobe are:

  • Uncertainty about the appearance of your earlobe, such as a split earlobe or a stretched hole.
  • Physical discomfort, such as pain or irritation when wearing earrings.
  • Psychological discomfort, such as avoiding wearing jewelry or social situations.

If one or more of these signs are recognizable, earlobe correction may be the answer. During a personal consultation, we will discuss the best treatment option for your situation.

Single-sided earlobe correction

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.

Double-sided earlobe correction

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.

Our team will carefully guide you through the recovery process and answer all your questions, even after the procedure.

When not to do it?

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.

Risks of earlobe correction

As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with earlobe correction, although they are relatively rare. Possible risks include:

  • Swelling and bruising: There may be slight swelling or discoloration around the earlobe after the procedure, but this usually disappears within a few days.
  • Scarring: Although the surgeon sutures carefully to minimize scarring, there is always a small chance of visible scars. However, these are often barely visible and fade over time.
  • Infections or bleeding: Although rare, infections or bleeding may occur after surgery. These are treated quickly and appropriately by our specialists, if necessary.

In general, earlobe correction is a safe procedure with a low risk of complications, especially if aftercare instructions are followed properly.

Frequently asked questions about earlobe correction

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.
