Ear Lobe Repair
Restore Torn, Stretched, or Split Ear Lobes Safely at Varsity Clinic
Ear lobes, though small, play a major aesthetic role—especially for individuals who wear earrings regularly. Over time, wearing heavy earrings, accidental tugs, or stretched piercings can lead to partial or complete ear lobe tears. At Varsity Clinic, we offer ear lobe repair surgery, a safe, minimally invasive procedure that restores natural ear shape and allows patients to wear earrings confidently again.
Whether due to trauma, age, or aesthetic choice, ear lobe repair is a quick, outpatient procedure performed with attention to detail and cosmetic symmetry.
Common Reasons for Ear Lobe Damage
- Torn ear lobes from heavy earrings or accidental pulls
- Stretched piercings from gauge jewelry or repeated use
- Double or uneven piercings needing closure
- Ear lobe deformities from previous surgeries or infections
- Aging-related thinning or elongation of the ear lobe
These issues not only affect appearance but may also cause emotional discomfort or restrict the use of earrings.

What Does the Procedure Involve?
Ear lobe repair is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. The process includes:
- Cleaning and preparation of the area
- Excision of the scarred tract or stretched tissue
- Layered suturing to close the wound and ensure minimal scarring
- Symmetry matching with the opposite ear for balanced appearance
The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes and is done on an outpatient basis with no need for hospital stay.
