Earlobe Correction Essex

Earlobes usually split or stretch from years of wearing heavy earrings, wearing stretchers or if an earring is caught, pulled or torn. However it happens, the hole is unlikely to close up or retract to its original size on its own.

Earlobe correction at Aesthetics of Essex is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the area is numbed before treatment. Most people find the procedure comfortable, but like any minor procedure, you may notice some mild discomfort once the anaesthetic wears off.

The procedure itself takes less than an hour, so most people are in and out within one appointment.

Recovery time is typically 5 to 7 days, but it can vary from person to person. Your clinician will talk you through aftercare so you know how to best care for your ears afterwards.

Many people have earlobe correction because they’d like to wear earrings again. However, you have to wait for the tissue to heal completely beforehand.

Because the earlobe is stitched back together, repairing it will likely leave a small, discreet scar. Thankfully, this will significantly fade over time.

Earlobe correction and repair is a minor surgical procedure, carried out by our GMC-registered surgeons.

Earlobe correction and repair is generally considered a straightforward, low-risk procedure for our team of surgeons. However, as with any minor surgical procedure, there’s a small risk of infection, scarring or an uneven result.
