Has anyone had a torn earlobe repaired?

All the time: This is a pretty common procedure for most plastic surgeons. The edges have to be freshened and then repaired together, usually in the office with local anesthesia. Sutures are removed in about a week. After the earlobe is well healed, it can be repierced (i do this for the patients whose ears I have repaired.).

Common Procedure: Earlobe repair is a common procedure that can be done in the office with minimal risk. I usually make sure that the new piercing is done away from the scar since that tissue only reaches 80% strength when healed and is at greater risk for recurrence compared to fresh tissue.

Yes: We do this in the office frequently. Both for males and females. Local anesthesia is used. Sutures are placed. The sutures come out in about a week. We have patients hold off on re-piercing for a while, and then not have them pierce through the small scar.
