Earlobe correction is a dermatological procedure used to treat issues related to earlobes, such as overly large, asymmetrical, or torn ear piercings.

Therapeutic Measures:

Surgical Earlobe Correction:

  • For more significant problems like overly large or asymmetrical earlobes, surgical correction may be necessary. This involves repositioning or reducing the size of the ear piercings to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
  • Surgical earlobe correction is typically performed under local anesthesia and can be done on an outpatient basis.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections:

  • For ear piercings that are not completely torn and still retain some structure, correction with hyaluronic acid may be considered.
  • Hyaluronic acid is injected into the tissue around the earlobe to fill it and improve the appearance of the ear piercings.
  • This procedure is less invasive than surgical correction and typically requires no downtime.

The choice of therapeutic measure depends on various factors, including the condition of the ear piercings, desired results, and the individual needs of the patient. Our experienced dermatologists can perform a tailored treatment plan to achieve optimal results.
