Can you tell me about cosmetic surgery for ripped ear lobes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Simple: One of the most common procedures performed. The surgeon freshes up the ear lobe under local anesthesia and then sutures it back together. Re-iercing is redone typically not on the resultant scar. Done properly, the scar is inconspicuousl.
