A woman in her early 60’s who is bothered by a low piercing on her ear as well as drooping of the earlobes with her earrings in place. He originally had her ears pierced by a friend with a potato, an ice cube and a needle!
She is shown before and again, 15 months after an earlobe lift. We will normally see patients back at the 3 month mark to re-pierce the ears but she was not able to come in sooner. Scars continue to fade however, and at the 15 month mark have faded quite nicely. The earlobe is no longer droopy giving it a more youthful appearance. In an earlobe lift, the earlobe is swung back and forth past an imaginary center point to mark a wedge of excess earlobe that is removed during the repair.
