Earlobe Repair
Houston Dermatology Specialists in Cypress, Texas, offers surgical and nonsurgical earlobe repair. Piercings and heavy earrings put your ears at risk for earlobe stretching, which can eventually lead to a torn earlobe. Fortunately, there are multiple options for cosmetic repair.
How does earlobe repair work?
To add support and volume to the earlobe, we use injectable dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM® or Restylane®. If the earlobe has torn or is at risk for tear, we perform a surgical earlobe repair.
Your Partners in Skin Health
At Houston Dermatology Specialists, dermatologist Dr. Joel Byrne and double board-certified dermatologist and Mohs micrographic surgeon Dr. Christopher Downing are committed to improving your skin health and quality of life through personalized medical and cosmetic dermatology treatment and services. Your comfort, satisfaction, and results are our top priority, which is apparent from the exceptional level of personal and professional attention you receive from Dr. Byrne and Dr. Downing when you visit us at Houston Dermatology Specialists.
What is it like to have earlobe repair done?
For a nonsurgical repair, Dr. Byrne or Dr. Downing will use injectable fillers, and the procedure only takes a few minutes. For a surgical repair, a local numbing medication will be used to anesthetize the area, and sutures will be used to repair the earlobe. Sutures are typically left in place for 1 week.
When can I re-pierce my ear after earlobe repair?
Typically after a surgical repair, it is best to wait for 3 to 6 months before re-piercing.
How much does earlobe repair cost?
Earlobe repair is considered cosmetic and is not covered by insurance. During your consultation, your provider will discuss pricing with you.
