Split & Stretched Earlobe Repair Surgery

Earlobe repair surgery is a minor surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic to repair split or stretched earlobes.

Earrings can be an irresistible fashion statement. But these style choices can sometimes lead to unfortunate consequences.

Gauged and pierced ears, if not managed correctly, can result in torn earlobes due to sagging, hasty stretching, or accidents.

When one or both earlobes tear, there’s not only a risk of infection, but an aesthetic impact too.

At HR Plastic Surgery, we offer earlobe repair surgery to mend and restore your earlobes at our clincis near London in Hertfordshire.
