Split Earlobe Repair

There are several causes of split earlobes. Some include trauma as a result of an earring being pulled through the piercing hole, repeated pulling of the clothing on & off while wearing earrings, or an over stretching of the earlobe. Since surgery is often required to repair a torn earlobe, a consultation prior to the procedure is required to make sure you are good candidate at which time a thorough examination of your ear will be performed. This type procedure is typically performed in the office using local anesthetic requiring no downtime from work and is usually completed within an hour.
