If you have a torn or stretched earlobe, you may be considering earlobe repair.
This is a procedure that is performed by an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist. The specialist will make a small incision in the lobe and then sew it back together.
This process usually takes less than 30 minutes to complete. Earlobe repair is often done as an outpatient procedure, which means that you can go home the same day.
You will need to take care of the incision site and keep it clean and dry for a few days. You should also avoid wearing earrings for at least six weeks after the procedure.
After that, you can resume wearing earrings as usual. If you are considering earlobe repair, talk to an ENT specialist to learn more about the procedure and what to expect.
