Earlobe Repair – Patient 162

A woman in her late 40’s who has a partial cleft of her left earlobe which makes it difficult to wear earrings and also is bothered by drooping of both her ear lobes when she has earrings in place. After discussing options she elected for a bilateral ear lobe lift. With this procedure a wedge is marked by swinging the earlobe back and forth across an imaginary point. She is shown again, 3 months after her surgery and just before re-piercing her earlobes in the office.
