EARLOBE REPAIR PORTLAND, OR | DAVID D MAGILKE, MD, PC

UNDERSTANDING EARLOBE REPAIR IN PORTLAND

Earrings are a popular fashion accessory that can sometimes cause
lasting damage to earlobes. Stretched, torn, or damaged earlobes can
be aesthetically corrected through specialized surgical techniques
performed by Dr. David Magilke.

COMMON REASONS FOR EARLOBE REPAIR

Patients seek earlobe repair for various compelling reasons:

 	* Reducing earlobe skin stretched by heavy or oversized earrings
	* Repairing tears or splits caused by accidental earring damage
	* Closing gauge piercing holes that will not naturally close
	* Removing unsightly scar tissue from piercings

GENETIC CONSIDERATIONS IN EARLOBE APPEARANCE

Some patients may have naturally larger earlobes that cause aesthetic
concerns. Earlobe repair can help improve proportion and symmetry,
addressing genetic variations in ear structure.

EARLOBE REPAIR PROCEDURE DETAILS

Dr. Magilke performs earlobe repair as a straightforward outpatient
procedure, typically completed in approximately 30 minutes per ear.
The minimally invasive surgical technique ensures patient comfort and
precise results.

SURGICAL PROCESS

The procedure involves localized anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
Dr. Magilke carefully removes excess tissue and meticulously sutures
the earlobe to recreate a natural, aesthetically pleasing appearance.

RECOVERY AND POST-PROCEDURE CARE

Patients can expect minimal discomfort following the procedure. Most
normal activities can be resumed quickly, with sutures typically
removed approximately one week after surgery.

PIERCING RECOMMENDATIONS

After complete healing—usually around two months—patients can
re-pierce their earlobes. Dr. Magilke recommends piercing in a
slightly different location to prevent potential re-tearing and ensure
long-term ear health.

CONSULTATION AND PERSONALIZED ASSESSMENT

During a comprehensive consultation, Dr. Magilke will evaluate your
specific earlobe concerns and determine the most appropriate surgical
approach. While most earlobes can be successfully improved, some
complex cases may require specialized consideration.
