You may benefit from this procedure if you:

• Have a torn or elongated earlobe from earrings or gauges

• Want to reverse stretched tissue for a smoother contour

• Plan to re-pierce but need restoration first

• Are in good general health with realistic goals

During your consultation, your surgeon will assess tissue quality and review your desired outcome.

Earlobe repair is performed under local anesthesia and usually takes 30–60 minutes. It involves:

• Carefully removing damaged or stretched tissue

• Closing the opening or tear with precision sutures

• Optionally reshaping the lobe for a more symmetrical result

There are no visible external incisions; healing is discreet and straightforward.

Every surgical journey at Meadowlark begins with thoughtful preparation. Prior to your procedure, our team will guide you through a personalized plan that supports optimal healing and confidence:

• Medical-Grade Skincare: Tailored regimens to strengthen skin barrier function, reduce inflammation, and support even healing. Often includes antioxidants, exfoliants, or targeted hydration.

• Laser Pre-Treatment (if appropriate): Halo™ or BBL® laser therapy may be recommended for patients with scarring, textural irregularities, or skin tone concerns. This primes the skin for smoother post-op results.

Collaborative Surgical Planning: Your Plastic Surgeon works closely with our Cosmetic Nurses and Laser Specialists to align timing, skin health, and follow-up care if you choose—creating a seamless, team-driven approach.

• Resume regular activity the same day

• Experience light swelling or redness for 2–3 days

• Have sutures removed (or dissolve) within 5–10 days

• See full shape return within 4–6 weeks

• Are cleared for re-piercing in approximately 8–12 weeks (if desired)

Our Cosmetic Team supports your healing with:

• Detailed wound care guidance

• Silicone-based scar therapy for optimal results

• Optional laser treatments for improved texture or colour

• Personalized advice on when and how to safely re-pierce

Earlobe repair is low-risk but may involve:

• Temporary swelling, redness, or tightness

• Slight scar visibility (minimized with therapy)

• Rare recurrence of splitting if trauma occurs again

• Mild asymmetry (usually correctable)

All considerations will be discussed thoroughly at your consultation.

• Board-certified Plastic Surgeons with microsurgical skill

• Comfortable local anesthesia—no downtime or sedation

• Private, accredited facility for your convenience
