Clinical Overview
Split or stretched earlobes are a common cosmetic concern. They are frequently the consequence of wearing heavy earrings over many years, accidental pulling or trauma, or the intentional use of gauge stretching jewelry. Suprema Medical Centre provides expert in-clinic earlobe surgical repair to restore a natural, symmetric contour.
This delicate reconstructive surgery involves carefully excising the scarred edges of the split or stretched hole and meticulously suturing the fresh edges together to recreate a normal earlobe shape.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with fine cosmetic sutures to minimize scarring. Re-piercing can typically be safely undertaken 6 to 8 weeks following full tissue consolidation, allowing you to wear standard earrings once again.
