Earlobe Repair
Earlobe Repair – Torn, stretched or just large earlobes may be repaired or reduced by meticulous surgery under magnification and using the finest “hairs-breadth” dissolving stitches to carry out the repair. This procedure is a walk-in walk-out operation under local anaesthetic.
How can I help with Earlobe Repair?
Earlobes can become torn or distorted through the use of heavy earrings or deliberate “gauging” to dilate a piercing. As we age also the earlobe tends to become larger and droop which some people find undesirable.
It is rewarding to carefully and meticulously rectify these issues through delicate surgery carried out under local anaesthetic. The difference it can make in someone’s life is often greater than I imagine and that is very satisfying to see.

What is Earlobe Repair?
Earlobes can be torn or stretched due to a number of reasons, such as wearing heavy earrings or accidentally catching them on something. This can cause the lobe to become thin and misshapen, and in some cases, completely tear away from the head.
Earlobe repair is a relatively simple procedure that involves stitching the lobe back together. It can be done under local anaesthetic as a day case, and the results are usually very good.
If you have stretched or torn earlobes, then earlobe repair may be a good option for you. The procedure is relatively simple and can be done under local anaesthetic. Results are usually very good, so if you are unhappy with your earlobes, then please book a consultation today.
What does the treatment for Earlobe Repair involve?
The treatment for a damaged earlobe involves meticulous surgery to re-establish the original shape of the earlobe. The skin is then closed with very fine stitches. The scar from this surgery is usually barely visible.
Earlobe repair is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed under local anaesthesia as an outpatient procedure. It only takes a few minutes to repair each earlobe.
Recovery from Earlobe Repair
Healing takes a couple of weeks, after that the tiny stitches will fall out and dissolve.
What you can expect from Earlobe Repair
The earlobe will throb and be swollen for the first couple of days but after that, it settles quickly and then you can start to appreciate the new appearance.

Reviews
Mole removal
I have had a number of moles removed by Dr Simon and I’m very happy with the result. Very quick and neatly done.
Excellent care from start to finish
I recently had some veins treated in my Leg and, and as I was quite nervous, I really appreciated how lovely and reassuring everyone was.
The surgeon Simon was friendly, professional and put me completely at ease, and the nurse Becky was absolutely lovely and caring. They both made the whole experience much easier than I expected.
I’m very grateful for their care and would definitely recommend them.
Lipoma & skin tag removal
Carried out very professionally and additional after care support was provided.
Removal of 2 facial moles
I was offered a quick appointment and was able to have the consultation and procedure at the same time. Simon and his nurse were very friendly and fully discussed what needed to be done. I am delighted with the results and would totally recommend Simon.
Lipoma removal
Found Simon to be very professional and diligent within his work, the whole process took no more than an hour, I was made to feel at ease, comfortable and confident in Simon’s abilities. The cut was bigger & deeper than I expected, but that is more due to my own preconceived conceptions, Simon explained the whole process very well and detailed everything clearly before the operation went ahead, my head is healing up nicely.
