WHAT IS IT?
Whether your earlobes were damaged, torn, or stretched from jewelry or an accident, or you’re just not happy with the size or shape of your lobes, they can be reconstructed with mild discomfort and great results.
TYPES OF INCISIONS
The incision for most reconstructions is a straight line that is vertical on your earlobe. This blends in very well over time.
PROCEDURE
The procedure generally takes 1 hour in the office under local anesthesia.
