If you're dealing with stretched or torn ear piercings caused by heavy jewelry, trauma, or natural wear over time, ear lobe repair can help restore your lobes to their youthful, natural appearance.
At Pacific Crest Dermatology, Dr. Schneider offers precise and effective ear lobe repair using advanced suturing techniques. This procedure allows you to enjoy jewelry again with confidence, while rejuvenating the look of your ears.
Ear Lobe Repair is ideal for:
✔️ Stretched or torn piercings 🕳️
✔️ Tears caused by heavy earrings 🧲
✔️ Restoring ear lobe function 🔄
✔️ Improving the appearance of damaged ear lobes 🌟
What to Expect:
During your consultation, Dr. Schneider will evaluate the extent of the damage and recommend the best approach for your repair. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring comfort and minimal discomfort. The torn area is meticulously sutured to restore its natural shape. After the procedure, most patients can return to normal activities within a day or two, though it's essential to avoid activities that place pressure on the ear lobe as it heals. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to minimize scarring and promote proper healing.
Stitches are generally removed in about a week, and you can expect full recovery in 6-8 weeks. To allow optimal healing, we recommend waiting 2-3 months before re-piercing your ear, and having it done by someone skilled in wound healing.
