EARLOBE REPAIR AND RECONSTRUCTION IN BOCA RATON, FL
While many injuries to your earlobes can be fixed with earlobe repair, defects and more extensive damage require earlobe reconstruction. Earlobe reconstruction can also help reverse the effects of sun damage and aging. Like your face, the skin of your earlobes is very delicate and can develop fine lines and wrinkles. This can be problematic for men and women because wearing earrings, which is intended to add beauty to the ears, only draws attention to sagging skin and drooping earlobes.
What Is Earlobe Reconstruction?
Earlobe reconstruction is a plastic surgery procedure that removes excess skin and soft tissue from your earlobes. Dr. Farber then works to reshape the remaining tissue to rejuvenate the earlobes.

Earlobe Repair and Reconstruction Surgery FAQs
Earlobe repair and reconstruction surgery usually entails removing the damaged or stretched skin and reshaping the remaining tissue to form a natural-looking earlobe. The specific technique used may vary based on the extent of the damage and the surgeon’s expertise. The procedure usually takes about one to two hours under local anesthesia.
Typically, earlobe repair and reconstruction surgery takes one to two weeks for initial healing, with sutures often removed during this period. Most residual swelling should resolve within three to six weeks post-surgery. Full healing, including readiness for re-piercing, generally occurs within three to six months after the procedure.
Plastic surgeons and ear, nose, and throat specialists perform earlobe repair and reconstruction. These medical professionals have specialized training in surgeries involving the face and neck.
Earlobe repair and reconstruction surgery can lead to side effects such as mild pain or discomfort and temporary swelling or bruising. Though rare, there’s a possibility of infection, visible scarring, or asymmetry. In some cases, patients may also experience an allergic reaction to anesthesia or other substances used during the procedure.
