Earlobe correction is a highly effective procedure offered by #HEALTH to repair stretched, torn, or misshapen earlobes. Whether due to injury, heavy earrings, or gauging, our expert treatments provide long-lasting, natural-looking results, restoring the shape and symmetry of your earlobes.
We offer precise surgical repair for torn earlobes from earrings or trauma, stretched earlobes from gauges or heavy jewellery, split earlobes that have completely separated, and asymmetrical or misshapen earlobes. Our consultant plastic surgeon will use advanced surgical techniques to ensure minimal scarring and a quick recovery.
what to expect during your earlobe repair treatment
Before your procedure, a member of our team will assess your earlobes and discuss the best treatment approach to achieve your desired results. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and typically takes 30–60 minutes.
After the procedure, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and the best results. The treated area may feel tender or slightly swollen for a few days. Keeping the area clean and following care guidelines will help minimize scarring and promote healing. Most patients can return to their daily routine immediately, with full healing typically occurring within 4–6 weeks. If desired, re-piercing can usually be done after complete recovery.
