The Givens Approach to Earlobe Repair

Elongated, Misshapen, or Stretched Earlobes

The effects of time and the journey of life can lead to elongated, misshapen, or stretched earlobes. To restore them to their rightful position, Dr. Givens removes excess skin and tissue to reshape and secure the earlobes using a specific suturing technique that ensures minimal scarring.

Split, Torn, or Gauged Earlobes

Inadvertent injury along with multiple or gauged piercings can weaken the earlobes and result in visible deformity. Dr. Givens can repair and realign distorted tissues by removing excess skin and meticulously repositioning incisions to recreate natural, symmetric earlobes.

Overly-Large or Thick Earlobes

Both genetics and age contribute to the size and density of the earlobes. If you feel your earlobes are of a displeasing nature, Dr. Givens can transform them for a sculpted, balanced appearance that frames your face.

About Dr. Givens

FAQ

Why do earlobes get torn or stretched out?

Earlobe tears and stretching can occur due to sleeping in earrings, wearing heavy earrings, trauma, or from the use of ear gauges or plugs. Over time, these factors can cause the earlobes to become thin, weakened, and prone to splitting or elongating.

What is the best way to fix a torn earlobe?

Earlobe repair surgery is the most effective way to restore a torn or stretched earlobe. This procedure involves carefully repairing the earlobe tissue and, if necessary, removing excess skin to create a more aesthetically pleasing result.

Can gauged earlobes be repaired?

Yes, gauged or stretched earlobes can be repaired through an in-office procedure. Dr. Victoria Givens, Austin’s top earlobe repair specialist, will remove the excess stretched skin and tissue, then suture the earlobe closed to restore a more natural, youthful appearance.

How long does earlobe repair surgery take?

Earlobe repair surgery is typically a relatively quick in-office procedure, lasting approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the extent of the damage and the surgical techniques required.

How much does earlobe repair surgery cost?

The cost of earlobe repair surgery at Givens Facial Plastic Surgery starts at $1,000. The current average cost of earlobe repair surgery around the world is between $1,000 and $3,000 per earlobe, depending on the surgeon's experience, geographic location, and the complexity of the procedure. We always offer financing options to help make every procedure accessible.

How long is the recovery from earlobe repair?

Recovery from earlobe repair surgery is minimal with most returning to work the same day or the following day. Sutures are removed within 1 week, during which time patients may experience some swelling and temporary discomfort.

When can earlobes be re-pierced after earlobe repair surgery?

After earlobe repair surgery, it is generally recommended to wait at least 6 weeks before re-piercing the earlobes. This allows the surgical site to fully heal and the tissue to regain its strength and integrity. Trying to re-pierce the earlobes too soon after the repair procedure increases the risk of complications such as infection, tearing, or further damage to the delicate earlobe structures.

Can excessively long earlobes be shortened?

Yes, earlobe reduction surgery can be performed to shorten overly long or elongated earlobes. This procedure involves carefully removing excess skin and tissue to create a more proportionate, balanced earlobe appearance.

What is the difference between earlobe repair and earlobe reduction?

Earlobe repair addresses torn, split, or stretched earlobes, while earlobe reduction shortens and reshapes overly long or large earlobes. Both can be performed to improve the appearance and symmetry of the ears.
