Ear Lobe Repair / Surgery Treatment in Hyderabad

Have your earlobes become stretched, elongated, or torn due to heavy earrings, trauma, or gauging? Torn or stretched earlobes are a common issue that can prevent you from wearing earrings comfortably and affect your appearance. Fortunately, earlobe repair surgery (Lobuloplasty) is a straightforward, minimally invasive procedure performed under local anaesthesia to restore the natural shape and integrity of your earlobe. At Dr. Nishita’s Clinic in Hyderabad, Dr. Nishita offers expert earlobe repair surgery for aesthetically pleasing and functional results.

Understanding Ear Lobe Repair (Lobuloplasty)

This surgical procedure aims to correct deformities of the earlobe, most commonly:

  • Split or Torn Earlobe: Often caused by earrings catching on clothing or accidental pulling, resulting in a partial or complete split.
  • Stretched or Elongated Earlobe: Can occur gradually from wearing heavy earrings over many years, or intentionally through gauging (ear stretching).
  • Enlarged Piercing Hole: When the earring hole has become significantly widened.

The Ear Lobe Repair Procedure

Performed as an outpatient procedure in the clinic:

Dr. Nishita will examine your earlobe(s), discuss your concerns, explain the procedure, potential outcomes, and aftercare.

The earlobe area is thoroughly cleansed, and local anaesthesia is injected to completely numb the area, ensuring a painless procedure.

Dr. Nishita precisely removes the edges of the tear or the excess stretched skin. The fresh edges are then meticulously stitched back together using very fine sutures, carefully recreating a natural earlobe contour. The technique may vary slightly depending on the type of repair needed (e.g., simple tear vs. stretched lobe repair).

A small sterile dressing is applied.

The procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes per earlobe.

Post-Procedure Care

  • You can usually go home shortly after the procedure.
  • Keep the area clean and dry as instructed.
  • Antibiotic ointment may be prescribed.
  • Avoid sleeping directly on the repaired earlobe initially.
  • Sutures are typically removed after 7-10 days.
  • Re-piercing, if desired, can usually be done after the lobe has fully healed (typically 6-8 weeks or as advised by Dr. Nishita), slightly adjacent to the repair line to ensure strength.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The procedure itself is painless due to the local anaesthesia. You might feel mild soreness or tenderness after the anaesthesia wears off, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief if needed.

Dr. Nishita uses fine sutures and meticulous techniques to minimise scarring. The resulting scar is typically a fine line that fades significantly over time and is usually inconspicuous.

Initial healing takes about 1-2 weeks (until suture removal). Full healing and maturation of the scar tissue take several months.

Re-piercing is generally possible after 6-8 weeks, once the lobe is fully healed and strong. It’s important to pierce slightly away from the scar line. Dr. Nishita will advise on the appropriate timing.

Yes, if both earlobes require repair, the procedure can usually be done on both during the same appointment.
