Stretched or Torn Earlobe Repair by Dr. Rubinstein
Many people consider cosmetic or corrective surgery for their facial areas such as the eyes, lips, and neck. However, over time, people can develop damaged, disfigured, or stretched earlobes, as well.
Earlobes are especially vulnerable to injury because they don’t have bone or cartilage for support; they are entirely skin and fat. Wearing heavy earrings, wearing gauges, and simple everyday trauma can cause damage and make earlobe repair surgery necessary. Sometimes even a seemingly small disfigurement can be very bothersome.
Stretched and torn ear lobes can quickly, easily, and safely be repaired with a minimally invasive procedure. A wide range of common ear lobe issues can be addressed, and afterward, you will be more confident with the look of your ears.
The cosmetic process used for earlobe repairs works with the skin and underlying fat layers without needing implants or other more invasive treatments.

Restore your Earlobes to a natural shape
For earlobe repair, surgical techniques are employed to restore a natural appearance. This may involve excising excess tissue, reshaping the lobe, and employing sutures to achieve optimal results. Dr. Rubinstein may also recommend hyaluronic acid fillers to enhance volume and reinforce the repair, ensuring a durable outcome that reduces the risk of future complications.
In gauge repair cases, a meticulous approach is taken to reshape the earlobe and suture it for optimal healing. While the procedure typically takes about an hour, variations in surgery time may occur depending on the extent of repair needed. With the expertise of board-certified plastic surgeons like Dr. Rubinstein, earlobe restoration offers patients a simple yet effective solution, providing natural-looking results and minimal downtime for recovery.
Surgical Earlobe Repair Recovery
Earlobe repair surgery that includes additional treatment areas such as the cheeks, chin, jaw, or neck is naturally more involved and the recovery time on these will vary. But, for an isolated earlobe repair, the recovery time is relatively short.
Dr. Rubinstein will prescribe pain medication, if necessary, for the first week or so, and his team will follow up with each patient to ensure proper healing. Normally, no bandages are necessary and stitches are removed in about a week. Earlobes have an ample blood supply which allows for better results and a rapid recovery.
Recovery is usually quick and easy, with minimal post-procedure restrictions needed. Patients are advised to keep the repaired earlobe away from water; avoid showers for 24 hours and refrain from submerging the ear in the bathtub, hot tub, or pool for up to 6 weeks. Patients are also asked to avoid strenuous exercise for 4 weeks. Most patients are cleared to return to work on the same day or the next day.
You will be asked to follow Dr. Rubinstein’s detailed post-operative instructions to promote healing from your earlobe repair surgery.
Earlobe repair Side Effects
Earlobe repair surgery typically involves minor incisions and is considered a simple, minor procedure in the realm of cosmetic surgery. As such, side effects such as swelling and bruising are generally minimal compared to more invasive procedures. While temporary discomfort, redness, or bruising may occur post-surgery, the risks of bleeding, scarring, or infection are relatively low. Nonetheless, it’s important to follow post-operative instructions carefully to optimize healing and minimize any potential complications.
Earlobe Repair Procedure Results
Following earlobe repair surgery, patients typically experience immediate improvements in appearance, as the procedure often does not require bandages upon completion. While initial swelling and bruising may occur, these gradually subside over time, revealing natural-looking results as the healing process progresses.
To maintain optimal outcomes, patients are advised to refrain from wearing heavy earrings or ear gauges, particularly during the initial recovery period. Dr. Rubinstein recommends waiting at least three months before considering re-piercing the ears and suggests opting for lightweight earrings to minimize stress on the newly repaired earlobes. Ensuring proper placement of re-piercings, at least 3mm away from the scar tissue, is essential for long-term success. By adhering to these post-operative guidelines, patients can enhance the longevity of their earlobe repair surgery results and achieve the desired aesthetic appearance.

Scarring depends on many things, including the extent of the ear damage and how prone you are to making scar tissue – as some people scar more than others. People who are repairing damage from multiple piercings might have more than one scar.
