Understanding Earlobe Repair

Earlobe repair is a precise surgical procedure designed to restore the natural appearance and structure of damaged earlobes. Whether caused by trauma, prolonged earring wear, or aesthetic concerns, this procedure can effectively address various earlobe irregularities.

Common Reasons for Earlobe Repair

  • Split or torn earlobe from heavy jewelry
  • Damage from ear gauges or stretching
  • Trauma-related ear injuries
  • Aging-related earlobe changes

Procedure Overview

The earlobe repair procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 30-60 minutes. Dr. Sullivan carefully removes damaged tissue and meticulously sutures the earlobe to restore its natural contour and appearance.

Procedure Highlights

  • Performed in-office
  • Local anesthesia used
  • Minimal recovery time
  • Minimal discomfort

Types of Earlobe Repair

Depending on individual needs, earlobe repair can address various concerns, including elongated lobes, split piercings, and asymmetrical ear appearance. Dr. Sullivan customizes each procedure to achieve optimal aesthetic results.

Repair Techniques

  • Split earlobe correction
  • Gauge closure
  • Earlobe reduction
  • Traumatic injury reconstruction

Recovery and Results

Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities immediately. Sutures are typically removed within 7-10 days, and final results gradually emerge as healing progresses.

Post-Procedure Expectations

  • Minimal pain
  • No significant work/activity restrictions
  • Suture removal in 7-10 days
  • Gradual aesthetic improvement

Dr. Sullivan is fantastic! Wonderful manner, personable, answered all my questions, and explained what he was going to be doing. I had a keloid on my ear lobe excised--completely painless procedure. I felt totally at ease, confident that I was in the right hands. Add to that, the exceptional service and communication by the staff at Taylor & Sullivan. I can recommend Dr. Sullivan without any reservations. An exceptional experience!

Dr. Sullivan and Dr. Taylor are the ONLY plastic surgeons I will allow to touch my face. Dr. Sullivan is an amazing doctor with incredible talent, an amazing personality and a really great sense of humor. He explains things in great detail and lets you know everything will be fine and exactly what you can expect. He and Dr. Taylor work in tandem and the results are nothing short of mind blowing. If you’re considering getting cosmetic surgery, Taylor & Sullivan is the team you should check with first.

I have had nothing but the best experience with my surgery with Dr. Stephen R. Sullivan and his staff. He was kind, patient and extremely informative. I left my consultation appointment confident in moving forward with the surgery. I had considered this surgery for over 10 years and finally decided to look into it more. I researched locations and Doctor's all over Vermont, New Hampshire, New York and Massachusetts before finding Taylor Sullivan Plastic Surgery online. The surgery went smooth and so did the recovery. I am 15 days post surgery and feeling great! I had minimal discomfort for the first 3 days post surgery and have been discomfort-free ever since. I can honestly say I was never in "pain" and was pleasantly surprised as I have never had any type of surgery prior to this and did not know what to expect from my own body. I highly recommend Dr. Sullivan! I wish I had done this years ago! 3-year post surgery update: I am still feeling great and have had no complications or issues with my implants. The healing process was incredibly fast. I have the thinnest scars that are each approximately 2" long. The incision was so perfectly placed that it isn't noticeable unless I lift and look for them. I still highly recommend Dr. Sullivan and his staff!
