Earlobe Repair New York, NY | David L. Cangello, MD, FACS

Understanding Earlobe Repair Procedures

Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure designed to address various aesthetic and structural concerns with the earlobes. Dr. Cangello offers comprehensive solutions for patients experiencing earlobe damage, elongation, or cosmetic irregularities.

Types of Earlobe Repair Techniques

Dr. Cangello specializes in multiple earlobe repair approaches tailored to individual patient needs:

• Repairing torn earlobes from trauma or heavy earrings
• Reconstructing earlobes stretched by large gauge piercings
• Reducing enlarged or disproportionate earlobes
• Rejuvenating thin or aging earlobe tissue

Surgical Approach to Earlobe Repair

Each earlobe repair procedure is performed using precise surgical techniques under local anesthesia. The process typically involves:

• Excising damaged skin and creating clean surgical edges
• Carefully suturing the earlobe to restore natural contour
• Minimizing scarring through advanced surgical methods

Ideal Candidates for Earlobe Repair

Patients considering earlobe repair are often seeking solutions for:

• Torn or stretched earlobe piercings
• Cosmetic irregularities in earlobe shape
• Earlobe damage from injury or prolonged earring wear
• Desire to restore ear aesthetics

Recovery and Results

Earlobe repair procedures typically involve minimal downtime. Patients can expect mild swelling and temporary restrictions on ear pressure. Most individuals can resume normal activities within a few days, with complete healing occurring over several weeks.

Post-Procedure Considerations

• Avoid pressure on repaired earlobes for four weeks
• Wait three months before re-piercing ears
• Follow specific care instructions provided by Dr. Cangello

Scarring and Aesthetic Outcomes

Dr. Cangello employs advanced surgical techniques to minimize visible scarring. Most patients experience very subtle, nearly imperceptible linear scars that fade significantly with proper care.

Complementary Procedures

For patients with additional ear-related concerns, Dr. Cangello recommends exploring otoplasty for prominent ear corrections.
