Earlobe Repair Atlanta, GA | Webb Plastic Surgery - Lindsey Webb, MD

Understanding Earlobe Repair

Earlobe repair is a precise cosmetic surgical procedure performed in Dr. Webb's Atlanta office under local anesthesia. Earlobes, composed entirely of soft tissue, can easily become damaged from prolonged earring wear, multiple piercings, or physical trauma. Whether patients have stretched, torn, or abnormally shaped earlobes, Dr. Webb can restore their natural appearance with a quick, minimally invasive intervention.

Candidates for Earlobe Repair

Multiple conditions may necessitate professional earlobe repair:

• Stretched Earlobe Holes: Caused by heavy earrings that gradually expand piercing sites
• Earlobe Tears: Result of accidental pulling or significant earring trauma
• Gauge Damage: Restoration after intentional lobe stretching
• Congenital Earlobe Deformities: Reshaping to achieve facial symmetry
• Keloid Treatment: Managing excessive scar tissue development

Surgical Procedure Details

The earlobe repair procedure is straightforward and efficient. Dr. Webb removes damaged skin, meticulously reattaches tissue, and uses fine sutures to ensure optimal healing. Typically completed within one hour using local anesthesia, patients can resume normal activities almost immediately.

Recovery and Aftercare

Post-procedure recovery is minimal. Patients may experience slight discomfort manageable with over-the-counter pain medication. Dr. Webb recommends protecting the ear during initial healing and scheduling a follow-up within one week to assess suture placement.

Piercing Considerations

After complete healing, usually three months post-procedure, patients can opt to re-pierce their earlobes. Dr. Webb provides personalized guidance to ensure safe and successful re-piercing.
