Earlobe Repair

What a shame that many women are unable to wear their beautiful earrings because of a torn earlobe or an enlarged or misaligned hole.  What an even greater shame that they do not realize that such damage is easily repaired with minimal discomfort.

Earlobe repair is a quick procedure that Dr. Pollard performs in the office. The entire procedure takes about an hour, requires only local anesthesia, and is virtually painless. The recovery period is minimal, allowing people to return to their normal activities almost immediately. When the ear has fully healed in roughly six to eight weeks, Dr. Pollard then re-pierces the ear.

The photos on the right show typical results.

FAQs

 

What will the recovery be like?

After the procedure, you will receive written wound care instructions and a follow-up appointment. There is minimal discomfort after earlobe repair and stitches are removed within two weeks. The earlobe should heal fully within six to eight weeks.

When will I see results?

You will see results immediately, but do not try to evaluate the success of your surgery during your early recovery. Full healing of any incision on the body can take from six to nine months or more.
