Earlobe Correction (Lobuloplasty)

About earlobe correction surgery

Earlobe Correction or Lobuloplasty is surgery to lift, resize, or repair the earlobes. Skin ageing and the effects of gravity can make the earlobes thin, long, saggy, and wrinkled. Wearing heavy earrings can make things worse, dragging them down and sometimes splitting or tearing the ear lobes. Our surgeon can repair any damage, reduce the size of stretched lobes, restore symmetry, and rejuvenate the earlobes.

Earlobe Reduction and Repair is performed under local anaesthetic as a day case. The surgeon makes an incision in the skin behind the ear so that the scars are discreet and hidden. They carefully excise a segment of skin and tissue to decrease the size of the earlobe and remove any areas that have split. The surgeon then sutures the lobe back together, creating a neater, more youthful-looking earlobe.

There is minimal downtime following Lobuloplasty surgery. It’s normal for the earlobes to swell, they may look like grapes in the early days! However, this settles well over the first few weeks.
