Earlobe Repair in Atlanta, GA

Understanding Earlobe Damage and Repair

Stretched or torn earlobes commonly result from trauma, including heavy earrings, children pulling on piercings, or gauging. Aviva Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive earlobe repair procedures to restore natural earlobe contour and symmetry.

Common Causes of Earlobe Damage

• Heavy or prolonged earring wear
• Accidental pulling or tearing
• Ear gauging and body modification
• Misplaced or asymmetric piercings

Earlobe Repair Procedure Details

Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure performed in the Aviva Plastic Surgery office using local anesthesia. The process involves carefully removing damaged skin around the piercing and precisely suturing the tissues to create a natural appearance.

Procedure Highlights

• Short procedure duration (15-30 minutes)
• Minimal discomfort with local anesthesia
• Option for re-piercing during the same session
• Minimal recovery time

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates for earlobe repair include men, women, and children with stretched, split, or asymmetrically pierced earlobes. Patients should be in good health with realistic expectations about the procedure's outcomes.

Candidacy Criteria

• Desire to restore natural earlobe appearance
• Healthy overall medical condition

Post-Procedure Recommendations

Aviva Plastic Surgery recommends wearing light earrings for 6-12 months after the procedure to prevent re-stretching. The medical team will provide personalized guidance for optimal healing and piercing maintenance.
