What Is Earlobe Repair?

With the passing of time, a pierced earlobe can become elongated in the event that an individual often wears heavy or large earrings.

What Concerns Can Earlobe Repair Surgery Fix?

Trends and fashion ebb and flow, but for those that affect our earlobes, our skin didn’t exactly get the message. There are typically two main reasons why earlobe repair surgery fix is required: stretching and trauma.

Modern-day earrings have become very heavy and wide. This is in no way good for your earlobe skin. The weight of the earrings can enlarge the natural earring piercing by pulling the earlobe down, to the point where it becomes obvious to others. Earrings are continuously growing in width too, the epitome: gauges. Gauges are discs positioned in the earlobe. If left in the same position for a long while, when removed, the hole they created is unable to close up, meaning surgery is needed.

Trauma comes also as a result of wearing earrings, but this time the really large hoop ones that can get caught on things. You may be simply brushing your hair or taking off your sweater. You may pick up a little child and he/she is so in love with your earrings that he/she starts pulling and grabbing on them. Needless to say, if the earring is pulled or caught on something, it can tear the bottom of the lobe.

Earlobe Repair Surgery

The repair of a torn earlobe initially includes the refreshment of the edge of the lobe torn by getting rid of a small amount of skin. Next, via sutures, the earlobe is finely repaired to restore the rounded, natural earlobe that is fit for your original ear shape.
