Earlobe Repair

Introduction to Earlobe Repair

The earlobes are a vulnerable and exposed area of the body that frequently succumb to rips, tears, elongation, and enlargement. Activities such as wearing oversized jewelry, engaging in various sports, and interacting with small children can all result in injury or cosmetic damage to the earlobes. Luckily, Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim, a double fellowship-trained aesthetic authority at AR Aesthetic, performs earlobe repair to restore your appearance and allow you to enjoy all your favorite earrings and hairstyles again.

What is Earlobe Repair?

When the earlobes have been compromised due to a rip, tear, or over-stretching process, Dr. Ibrahim can restore their appearance by performing earlobe repair surgery. The procedure is minimally invasive, and the results can be a game-changer for many patients in Melbourne, FL. The most common way injuries occur in the lobes is by wearing large earrings, plugs, or gauges that get caught on something. Young children also habitually pull on jewelry, causing painful rips and tears in the earlobes. In addition to repairing damaged lobes, Dr. Ibrahim can perform reduction surgery for those with naturally elongated or oversized earlobes.
