Lobuloplasty is the medical name patients often see when researching earlobe repair surgery. In practical terms, it means surgical correction of a damaged earlobe, whether the issue is a split, tear, stretch, or enlarged piercing hole.
Who lobuloplasty is for
Lobuloplasty may be suitable if you have:
- A completely split earlobe
- A partial tear that keeps widening
- An enlarged piercing hole that no longer holds earrings well
- A stretched or elongated lobe after long-term earring wear
A consultation confirms whether simple hole reduction or fuller reconstruction is needed.
What to expect at Skin Klove
Your visit in Nanganallur usually includes assessment of both earlobes, discussion of your goals (including whether you want to wear earrings again), and a clear explanation of the repair plan. The procedure itself is commonly performed under local anaesthesia and often takes 15-30 minutes per earlobe.
Aftercare and results
You leave with dressing guidance and a follow-up plan. Early healing is typically measured in days rather than weeks, though full settling takes longer. The aim is a natural contour with minimal scarring.
