EARLOBE REPAIR NORWALK, CT | DR. LAURENCE KIRWAN

UNDERSTANDING EARLOBE REPAIR SURGERY

At Kirwan Plastic Surgery in Norwalk, Connecticut, skilled surgeons
specialize in restoring earlobes to their natural beauty. Whether
damaged by trauma, stretching, or aging, Dr. Laurence Kirwan offers
precise techniques to address earlobe concerns.

COMMON REASONS FOR EARLOBE REPAIR

 	* Enlarged piercings
	* Earlobe tears from trauma
	* Age-related volume loss and wrinkling

PROCEDURE OPTIONS

PIERCING HOLE CLOSURE

Suitable for patients with enlarged piercings. The hole is excised
from front to back, with deep stitches supporting wound healing.
Surgery typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes per earlobe, with stitches
removed five to seven days post-procedure.

CLEFT EARLOBE REPAIR

Optimal for patients with split earlobe deformities. The cleft is
excised in a precise pattern, with deep and superficial stitches
ensuring proper wound closure. Surgery duration ranges from 30 to 60
minutes per earlobe.

EARLOBE REJUVENATION

Addresses wrinkled or shrunken earlobes through fat injection and
optional chemical peeling. Fat is carefully harvested and injected to
restore volume and smooth skin texture.

SURGICAL EXPERTISE

Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial. Dr. Kirwan's
meticulous approach minimizes risks and ensures optimal aesthetic
outcomes, understanding the delicate aesthetics of earlobe
reconstruction.

RECOVERY EXPECTATIONS

 	* Return to work within 24 hours
	* Avoid contact sports for three weeks
	* Minor bleeding expected for 24 hours
	* Scars initially red, fading to thin white lines

POST-OPERATIVE CARE

Dr. Kirwan recommends sunblock to protect healing scars and
silicone-based scar cream to prevent keloid formation. Personalized
post-operative instructions ensure smooth recovery and optimal
results.
