Earlobe Repair Columbus, Ohio
Your Skilled Earlobe Reconstruction Surgeons
As self-expression trends have evolved, earlobe reconstruction surgery has emerged as a transformative solution for individuals seeking to repair, restore or reshape their earlobes. Whether the damage is due to heavy earrings, trauma or intentional body modifications, these surgical services offer a path to rejuvenation.
Why Donaldson: Skill, Precision & Restoration To Your Natural Shape
To repair stretched or torn earlobes, Dr. Michele Sieffert performs a simple procedure under local anesthesia, which typically lasts under an hour. The procedure involves removing the stretched area of the skin and then stitching the earlobe back together to create the natural contour of the ear. The small incisions are skillfully hidden within the natural folds and creases of the ear, and the scar is minimized with three layers of repair.
This surgery not only mends physical damage but also revitalizes the confidence and self-assurance of patients, offering a path to reclaiming symmetry and aesthetics.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The reasoning for an earlobe repair is different for everyone! Oftentimes, gauges will prevent the skin from being able to return to its natural shape. If your lobes have stretched beyond their ability to retract or if your earlobes have torn, then surgical reconstruction may be your best option.
-
The cost of an earlobe repair depends on your needs. Is it one ear or both? Is it excessive stretch or a tear? It is also important to keep in mind that price is a reflection of the expertise of your provider and the care and overall experience at your plastic surgery clinic.
In general, reconstruction for torn earlobes ranges between $600 – $1,400. Repair for gauged ears ranges between $1,800 – $2,300. After meeting with your surgical clinician to discuss a plan, you’ll receive a quote with the total price including surgical fees, anesthesia, and additional supplies. You will also receive a complimentary re-piercing once your lobes are fully healed.
-
Post-surgery, the recovery process is relatively swift, with minimal downtime. Essential aftercare instructions generally include:
- Keeping the area clean and dry
- Avoiding pressure or trauma to the earlobes
- Following the surgeon’s guidelines for suture removal and follow-up appointments
After several days, our patient care team will remove dressings from the earlobes, and healing is usually complete after several weeks. After several months of healing, one of our non-surgical experts will re-pierce your ears with a sterile medical technique.
Is Earlobe Repair Surgery Worth It?
