Earlobe Repair
Earlobe repair is a simple in-office procedure used to correct stretched, torn, or split earlobes. It is commonly performed for patients whose earlobes have been damaged by heavy earrings, trauma, or long-term piercing.
Many patients seek earlobe repair for cosmetic reasons or to restore the ability to wear earrings comfortably again. The procedure is quick, effective, and requires minimal downtime.

Earlobe repair is a minor procedure that reshapes and closes a torn or stretched earlobe. It can be performed for partially torn earlobes, fully split earlobes, or elongated piercing holes.
The procedure is performed in the office using local anesthesia. Excess or damaged tissue is carefully removed, and the earlobe is repaired with fine sutures to restore a natural shape and contour.
Dr. Parcells and Dr. Pasick focus on precise technique to minimize scarring and achieve a smooth, natural result.
During your consultation, one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will evaluate your earlobes and discuss your goals. The extent of the tear or stretching will be assessed, and the repair technique will be explained.
Dr. Parcells and Dr. Pasick will review what to expect during the procedure, healing time, and when re-piercing may be possible. You will have time to ask questions and review aftercare instructions.
You may be a good candidate for earlobe repair if you:
- Have a torn, split, or stretched earlobe
- Have elongated piercing holes
- Want to restore a natural earlobe shape
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations
Earlobe repair is suitable for both women and men.
Recovery from earlobe repair is typically very easy. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur for a few days.
Sutures are usually removed within one to two weeks.
Patients are advised to avoid earrings during healing.
Most patients can return to normal activities immediately.
The cost of earlobe repair depends on whether one or both earlobes are treated and the complexity of the repair.
Because this is a cosmetic in-office procedure, it is not covered by insurance. Pricing will be discussed during your consultation.
