Safe & Reliable Torn Earlobe Repair

Wearing heavy or huge ear rings can potentially tear your earlobe. Torn earlobe may also be caused by earrings getting “caught” when putting on/removing clothing, or perhaps it is due to a toddler playing with your earring. Whatever the cause, torn earlobe spells pain on the instant it occurs. It also means that you can no longer wear any attractive earring for the duration of the injury. But then the torn portion of your ear can be repaired. Repairing your torn earlobe is a pretty simple procedure – it normally requires excising the intervening scar, repairing the earlobe suture, and then repiercing of the ear. The repiercing step is done a few weeks (or a month – depending on the gravity of torn) after the sutures are removed from your ear. But no matter how simple the earlobe repair may seem, do not take things lightly, especially with the choice of plastic surgeon.
