How can i get my torn earlobe repaired. it has healed up split!?

Minor procedure: Cleft(split) earlobes can be easily corrected under local anesthesia with a minor procedure. Sutures would be placed to close the slit and then the ear could be repierced in about 3-4 months if desired.

Minor Procedure: The edges of the adjacent split skin can be removed and the raw surfaces sutured back together. This is very commonly done.

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.

Ear lobule repair: A stretched torn ear lobule can be repaired ; contoured to an improved shape by plastic/cosmetic surgeons as an office based procedure. An ear stud can be placed immediately by a local flap technique during the repair. In the longterm, patients are advised to not wear heavy, dangling earrings to minimize recurrence of problem.
