Earlobe Repair Surgery

The lower part of the ear pavilion is called the earlobe. It is the part of the ear where cartilage is absent.

Earlobe surgery, performed by a Specialist Cosmetic Surgeon, is a safe procedure delivering natural results. Dr Weiss, specialist in facial cosmetic surgery in Paris (Hauts-de-Seine), invites you to discover the answers to the main questions about earlobe repair surgery.

Various types of earlobe imperfections can be observed:

• Excessively large or protruding earlobes, most often congenital in origin,
• Earlobe deformities caused by wearing excessively large or heavy earrings (enlarged holes, split lobes) or other piercing injuries

Inappropriate and heavy ear jewellery leads to enlargement of the earlobe piercing hole, resulting in a tear or split of the earlobe.

This creates a bilobed ear. Sometimes the weight of the jewellery only causes elongation of the earlobe, which worsens with ageing.

The only solution for this type of imperfection is surgical.

Depending on the type of imperfection, Dr Weiss uses a range of techniques adapted to each problem, from simple suturing to camouflage flaps, to achieve a natural, harmonious earlobe while minimising the number of visible scars.
