Get a Comprehensive
Earlobe Repair Consultation
Dr. Truong offers a thorough and comprehensive consultation where you can get the details on all of your cosmetic options. He’ll take the time to answer each and every one of your questions.
What to Expect
Whether wanting to trade in a poor fashion choice made in your youth for a more professional look, or to repair a torn earlobe after an accident or injury, earlobe repair and reconstruction can help you improve your image. This quick and simple procedure leaves behind relatively small, discreet scars so you don’t need to feel held back by your appearance.
Your Consultation
At your initial consultation, Dr. Truong will talk closely with you about your hopes for earlobe repair surgery. He’ll explain more about the steps he takes during the procedure to reconstruct your earlobes, as well as the type of result you can realistically hope to achieve. This is a fairly quick and routine surgery that shouldn’t require complex steps during preparation or recovery.
Preparing for Your Earlobe Repair
The process of repairing a torn piercing or gauged earlobe is a straightforward one that’s typically performed under local anesthesia only. Dr. Truong first removes any existing scar tissue before suturing the separated edges together to recreate a whole earlobe. The entire surgery normally takes less than an hour to complete. The sutures Dr. Truong uses during surgery are quite small, although some types of earlobe reconstruction may require a more complex use of skin flaps rather than a simple suture technique.
Recovery & Results
You may notice some slight discomfort after your earlobe repair surgery, which can usually be controlled with regular over-the-counter pain medication. After your earlobe is healed, you can consider re-piercing your ear if desired. Scarring should be minimal, and the earlobe should appear whole and smooth again.
