Earlobe Repair – Patient 247

A woman in her early 20’s who had her ears pierced at the age of 5 and did sleep with her earrings in. She thinks she may also have a nickel allergy. She has an almost complete split of her right earlobe and a partial split of the left earlobe, and wanted to have these repaired. On examination she also has some mild drooping of the earlobes and we decided to correct these at the same time by combining an earlobe lift with the repair. She is shown again, 3 months after repair. The ears are repaired, but also have a more youthful contour, as discussed in my video on the beautiful earlobe.
