Earlobe repair surgery
At Accurate Aesthetics, Dr. Katherine Hein understands that what once seemed like a sophisticated or modern fashion trend — such as wearing very heavy earrings or ear gauging — may soon be transformed into a cosmetic concern, as the earlobes begin to suffer from such fads. Fortunately, the plastic surgeon performs earlobe repair cosmetic surgery for individuals in Boston, Wellesley and Sudbury to improve the appearance of torn earlobes or excessively elongated earring holes.
Why earlobe repair surgery becomes necessary
Individuals who came of age in the 1980s most likely remember the hefty metal earrings that were in fashion back then. If you are familiar with the heavy earring trend, you might also have participated in it. If this is the case, you may now be suffering the consequences, which often include split earlobes or severely elongated earring holes.
A more current fashion trend involves “ear gauging,” which entails gradually expanding an earring hole, so that it can accommodate a thick, broad circular earring. Sometimes, the earring hole will eventually shrink back to a smaller size once the earring is removed; however, more often, the expanded hole remains stretched out.
Aside from fashion trends that can damage the earlobe, injuries to this area can occur. For example, someone may yank on a dangling earring on accident, thereby causing a tear in the earlobe.
Under these circumstances, earlobe repair surgery may become necessary to repair the earlobe and restore its original size and shape. With earlobe repair surgery, Dr. Hein can repair an elongated earring hole, a moderately torn earlobe or a fully torn earlobe.
