Earlobe Repair (Stretched or torn it can be fixed!)
A stretched or torn earlobe, no matter how insignificant it may seem, can be a serious point of vexation for many people. Earlobe repair is a very common procedure for Dr. Savalia, who has restored many patients’ natural earlobe structures.
Earlobes can become stretched or torn for a number of reasons, including: the weight of large or bulky earring over an extended period of time, trauma from a child ripping out an earring, or from getting stuck on clothing, and even by choice, many earlobes are stretched on purpose. Whether the lobe is slightly stretched, torn all the way through, or has been purposely stretched to an extreme, Dr. Savalia can repair the damage, and has done so for numerous patients.
The earlobe repair procedure is performed under local anesthesia in either of Dr. Savalia’s two office locations (Fashion Island and Fullerton). The procedure is completed in a short amount of time, with little to no discomfort to the patient. Dr. Savalia uses fine sutures and meticulously reconstructs a normal, rounded earlobe. Stitches are removed one week later, and ears are re-pierced by Dr. Savalia himself in three months.
Patients are commonly nervous when initially coming in for earlobe repairs, however, any amount of agitation and worry is entirely unnecessary. Dr. Savalia ensures that patients feel no more discomfort than that of a needle prick when the anesthetic is administered, and in less than an hour, the procedure is complete, and the patient once again, has a normal, aesthetically pleasing earlobe!
