Earlobe Repair in Georgia

Earlobe Repair

The ears play a fundamental role in the maintenance of facial proportions and symmetry. The earlobe is easily prone to injury from traumatic insults or earrings. Problems with the earlobe are surprisingly common. Although seen as relatively trivial in nature, they can exert a disproportionately negative effect on self-image and confidence. Fortunately, earlobes can be easily repaired.

Partial or complete tear of the ear lobe is an important occurrence that is very common in women and often leads to a visible cosmetic deformity. The use of earrings and heavy piercings leads to permanent deformities in the earlobe owing to the effect of gravity. This can cause tearing in the earlobe due to age, trauma, and mechanical factors. The most frequent causes of earlobe clefts are due to the holes made in the earlobe for earrings enlarge over time and that the earrings separate the borders of the cleft from each other under the influence of gravity, which results in permanent holes. Patients can improve their confidence and self-esteem with improved facial aesthetics by a simple procedure to repair or even reshape the earlobes.

Earlobe repair is a safe and effective way to correct ears that have been stretched, split or torn. There are patients who are not happy with the size of their earlobes because they feel that they are too large.

When choosing earlobe repair, it is important that you consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who has experience in these kinds of repairs.
