Earlobe Repair and Reconstruction: The Quick Fix

One of Dr. Scott Siegel's sub-specialties is Torn Earlobe Repair. At the end of an oral surgery consultation many years ago, the patient took off her clip-on earring and asked, "What can you do about this?"  Her earlobe was torn completely through into what is known as a "cleft."  Since then, I've become a specialist in New York and Long Island for earlobe repair and reconstruction.
 
I prefer to use Ellman Radiofrequency Technology rather than a laser or scalpel to minimize scarring and promote quicker healing.  A pierced hole should be pin sized, yet the stretching of tissue over time or an acute injury (e.g. earring tugged by a toddler) results in a completely torn earlobe or an "elongated hole" which can no longer support pierced earrings.
 
 
So here's the Quick Fix:
  1. CONSULTATION
  2. PROCEDURE in-office typically takes 10-15 minutes per lobe using local anesthesia; optional repiercing of earlobe(s) that day or up to six weeks later
  3. STITCH REMOVAL one week following procedure
 
 
 
Earlobe Repair and Reconstruction is a highly desirable Cosmetic Facial Surgery procedure and results in a minimally or scar-free earlobe and enables the patient to wear pierced earrings again.

It mostly happens because women wear heavy weighted earing that your ears can't bear the weight of that and hence they become loose and its one of the nice procedure to fix it.

Thanks for pointing out the relationship between heavy weighted earrings and torn earlobes or elongated earring holes. Earlobe repair is a popular procedure that is painless and quick.

Nice work done on the earlobe and it is a short time treatment and helps you getting good shaped ears.
