Expert Surgical Repair for Torn or Stretched Earlobes
If you’re struggling with a torn, stretched, or sagging earlobe due to heavy earrings, trauma, or gauging, MJR Dermatology in Lawrenceville offers a simple, in-office solution. Our board-certified dermatologists provide earlobe repair using precise techniques to restore a natural and symmetrical appearance.
We offer a $50 office consultation, which will be applied toward the surgery cost if you move forward with treatment.
Common Reasons for Earlobe Repair
Earlobes are prone to injury and stretching over time. Our dermatology team regularly treats patients for:
- Torn earlobes from accidental trauma or pulled earrings
- Stretched piercings from wearing heavy or oversized earrings
- Cosmetic concerns from aging or sagging earlobes
- Closure of gauged earlobes or body modification reversal
Earlobe repair can restore both the look and function of your earlobe, allowing you to confidently wear earrings again and achieve a more youthful contour.
What to Expect from the Procedure
Earlobe repair is a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia. It typically takes 30 to 45 minutes per earlobe and involves removing the damaged skin and carefully suturing the tissue for a smooth, natural result.
Procedure Benefits Include:
- Quick and safe in-office treatment
- Minimal downtime
- Natural cosmetic improvement
- Long-term results
- Can re-pierce ears after healing (usually 6–8 weeks)
Most patients return to regular activities within a day. Stitches are usually removed within 7 to 10 days.
