The Earlobe Repair Process
Consultation
A thoughtful conversation is the first step, where Dr. Burke examines the condition of your earlobes and listens to your concerns. Whether the earlobe has split from trauma or stretched over time, she explains the repair process and answers your questions. You then receive a plan created specifically to meet your needs and expectations.
Procedure
This surgery uses local anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience. Dr. Burke carefully removes the damaged skin, reshapes the earlobe, and uses fine sutures to close the area. The process takes under an hour and requires no sedation or extended recovery. You are free to return home shortly after your appointment.
Recovery
You may resume daily activity right away. Swelling is minimal and improves within the first week. While your ear heals, keep the area clean and avoid applying pressure to the earlobe. Most results become visible within a few weeks, with subtle refinements continuing as the tissue settles.
