Common reasons to undergo Earlobe repair Surgery:

• Earlobe Lacerations – Earlobe laceration repair is a very common surgical procedure performed at AADHYA. Earlobes are typically lacerated, or torn, from earrings that get inadvertently pulled. They can also occur in patients who wear excessively heavy earrings that pull down on the earlobes. In many patients, the tiny hole from the piercing becomes elongated as the skin is torn.

• Enlarged Earlobes – In some cases, patients present for earlobe reshaping because their earlobes are just too large for their liking. This is a congenital issue that they are born with and not something that arises from an injury or prior procedure.

• Earlobe Gauging – Over the last several years, earlobe gauging has become a very popular and trendy practice. Earlobe gauging involves placement of a gauge, or plug, into the earlobe. Gradually, a larger gauge can be placed over time to further stretch the earlobe to the desired size.
