Earlobe repair is a type of cosmetic surgery to correct the split ends of the earlobe. This surgery is done for a patient who has suffered damage to the earlobe owing to various reasons.
Causes:
- Heavy earrings can stretch out the earlobes.
- Ear piercing gone wrong.
- Accident induced torn earlobes.
How is the treatment done?
The patient is given local anesthesia, which helps to numb the site of the operation. After that, the surgeon makes an incision in the earlobe of the patient and clears out the edges to be sutured. Finally, the clean edges are sutured together. This surgery is relatively quicker and much simpler when compared to other cosmetic surgeries.
How much time does the treatment take?
It takes maximum 30 minutes to 1 hour for surgical repair of each ear of the patient
