Split Earlobe / Torn Earlobe / Earlobe Repair
Whether the earlobe is torn through from a trauma, the piercing whole is elongated or misplaced, or simply the earlobes themselves have gotten droopy over time, a simple earlobe repair may be right for you. Earrings over time can elongate a piercing and make it difficult to wear certain jewelry. Sometimes they can rip the piercing completely through resulting in a split-earlobe or torn earlobe. In some cases after years of wearing heavy earrings the earlobe itself can become stretched or elongated.
No matter the cause a simple repair can help tremendously. Torn earlobe repairs are done in the office and take only a few minutes. In some cases the entire earlobe can be re-shaped or shortened, this is a bit more involved than a simple torn-earlobe repair, however even this procedure can be done in the office with just local anesthesia. Stitches are typically removed at less than one week and the earlobe can be re-pierced once the area has healed which is roughly a month. Dr. Zimbler re-pierces all earlobe repairs himself at no extra charge, making sure the placement of the new piercing is exact and symmetric with the opposite side.
