Earlobe Repair
Serving Orland Park, Oak Lawn, Chicago & Surrounding Areas
The earlobe can be torn or stretched out usually from heavy earrings or ear gauges.
Earlobe repair is a relatively straightforward procedure in which the torn or elongated portion is removed and the edges are placed back together. Dr Shah performs earlobe repairs in his office under local, a straight-forward relatively painless procedure.*
Dr. Shah’s technique involves rearranging the tissue and closing the hole to create a favorable scar and improved contour of the earlobe. Stitches are removed in 5-7 days and ears can be re-pierced in as little as 6 weeks.*
