Ear lobe repair is a minor dermatosurgical procedure to repair torn, split, stretched, or keloid-affected ear lobes caused by earring trauma, gauge piercings, or keloid formation. At Safa Skin and Hair Clinic, we perform expert ear lobe repair for natural, cosmetically excellent results.
Our dermatologists evaluate the extent of ear lobe damage and select the most appropriate surgical technique to achieve the best possible ear lobe contour and natural appearance.
Ear lobe repair is performed under local anaesthesia in a clinical setting, typically taking 20 to 30 minutes. We use precise suturing techniques to restore the natural contour of the ear lobe with minimal, well-concealed scarring.
Patients can consider re-piercing the repaired ear lobe after approximately 6 to 8 weeks once healing is complete, restoring full ear jewellery options following the procedure.
We assess the type and extent of ear lobe damage - partial tear, complete split, stretched lobe, or keloid - to plan the most appropriate repair technique.
The repair technique, anaesthesia, expected healing timeline, re-piercing timeline, and post-operative care are explained before the procedure is performed.
Ear lobe repair is performed under local anaesthesia using precision suturing to reconstruct the ear lobe contour and achieve a natural-looking, symmetrical result.
Sutures are removed at a follow-up 7 to 10 days post-procedure, with healing assessment, scar care advice, and re-piercing timing guidance provided.
