 

EARLOBE REPAIR IN MORGANTOWN, WV | MCCLELLAN PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING EARLOBE REPAIR

Earlobe repair is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address
torn or stretched earlobes. Dr. McClellan repairs tears that may be
partially or completely through the earlobe, restoring both function
and aesthetic appearance.

COMMON REASONS FOR EARLOBE REPAIR

Earlobe damage can occur in various situations, affecting men and
women of all ages:

 	* Accidental injuries from children playing with jewelry
	* Sports-related earlobe injuries
	* Years of wearing heavy earrings causing stretching
	* Decorative gauge-related earlobe modifications
	* Accidental earring pulls and tears

PROCEDURE DETAILS

McClellan Plastic Surgery performs earlobe repair as a minor
outpatient procedure in the clinic's dedicated procedure room. The
surgery typically takes approximately one hour and is performed under
local anesthetic, ensuring minimal discomfort for patients.

SURGICAL PROCESS

During the earlobe repair procedure, Dr. McClellan carefully
reconstructs the damaged earlobe tissue. Patients can expect minimal
pain and a relatively quick recovery process. Follow-up appointments
include suture removal around 5-6 days post-procedure.

CONSULTATION INFORMATION

A comprehensive earlobe repair consultation at McClellan Plastic
Surgery requires approximately 30 minutes. Patients are encouraged to
arrive 15 minutes early to complete necessary paperwork. Dr. McClellan
will conduct a thorough physical examination, explain the procedure in
detail, and address any patient questions.

POST-PROCEDURE OPTIONS

Patients interested in re-piercing their ears may do so approximately
three months after the repair, providing ample time for complete
healing.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

Earlobe repair is considered a cosmetic procedure and is typically not
covered by standard health insurance plans. Patients should be
prepared to cover the associated costs privately.
