Earlobe Repair
Restore the shape and size of earlobes to achieve natural, youthful symmetry.
SCOTTSDALE, AZ
Earlobe deformities are quite common, often due to congenital ear development, age-related changes, lifestyle factors, and/or beauty trends over time. To address earlobe aesthetic concern, Dr. Saba Ghorab offers expert earlobe repair surgery or auricular lobuloplasty to restore symmetry, balance, and youthful form.
In our society, the popularity of early ear piercing means lifelong earring wear for many. This, coupled with age-related earlobe stretching and thinning, use of heavy earrings, ear gauging, or accidental earring snags or pulling, may lead to unwanted earlobe deformities. Furthermore, there may be aesthetic concerns due to overly large or misshapen earlobes that have been present since childhood. Less commonly, earlobe deformities are caused by trauma or surgery that alters the appearance of one or both earlobes.
At Saba Plastic Surgery, earlobe repair is a popular procedure for restoring the natural and youthful shape, size, and position of the earlobes. In the hands of Dr. Ghorab, this is a quick procedure with excellent aesthetic outcomes.
What Can Earlobe Repair Help With?
You could be a candidate for an auricular lobuloplasty if you experience:
-
- Age-related stretching and elongation of the earlobes
- Enlarged earlobe holes or torn earlobe caused by heavy earrings or gauges
- Enlarged earlobe holes or torn earlobe due to earring snags or accidental pulling
- Misshapen or overly large earlobes
- Multiple or unwanted piercings with visible holes
- Earlobe deformity due to previous surgery or trauma
How is Earlobe Repair Performed?
In the hands of an experienced facial plastic surgeon in Scottsdale, earlobe repair is a low risk procedure with lasting results.
There are many techniques for earlobe restoration, with the procedure custom tailored to meet individual needs. The incisions are designed to be small and well-camouflaged, with excellent healing and fading over time.
Earlobe repair is often combined with facelift, neck lift, or dermal filler injection for more uniform facial restoration.
What to Expect with Earlobe Repair
During your 1:1 consultation, Dr. Ghorab will review her surgical plan, the results you can expect, and what the recovery will be like.
Earlobe repair is a simple outpatient procedure performed using local anesthesia only. This means patients are awake but comfortably numb and pain-free. Since no heavy anesthetic sedation and breathing tube are used, you can drive yourself home afterwards.
Professional photographs are taken before and after your procedure to document healing and your transformation.

Recovery After Earlobe Repair
Following earlobe repair, our patients experience a quick recovery! Any mild discomfort is well-controlled with over-the-counter pain medications only.
For most, there is little or no need to take time off from work or any other personal/professional obligations. Patients may return to their normal day-to-day life, pending they can avoid strenuous activities and are comfortable with discrete (but visible) tape bandages over their earlobes.
Skin stitches and tape bandages are removed one week after surgery. Strenuous activities should be avoided for at least 10 days after the procedure.
Ear Re-piercing After Earlobe Repair
Ear re-piercing is absolutely possible after earlobe repair. If desired, this can be performed by Dr. Ghorab in our clinic. Unlike traditional ear piercing, her method is much more refined.
Dr. Ghorab uses a small amount of local anesthesia for a pain-free ear experience. More importantly, she will ensure that a new hole isn’t directly placed in the old piercing site.
Following earlobe repair, people can have youthful earlobes and continue to enjoy wearing earrings for years to come!
Earlobe Filler Injection
The natural aging process leads to earlobe thinning, stretching, and volume loss. Earlobes that were once plump appear deflated, elongated, and wrinkly. This is pronounced with earrings as more attention is drawn to aged earlobes.
While earlobe repair addresses the sagging, excess skin for lasting improvement of the earlobe size, shape, and position, it does not restore volume or smooth fine lines. As such, earlobe repair is complemented by dermal filler injection for earlobe volume restoration.
An earlobe filler injection is a quick, office-based procedure performed using topical anesthesia. It can be performed as a singular procedure or after an earlobe repair. The results are immediately noticeable, with a more youthful and supple appearance of the earlobes.
