Earlobe surgery is a simple procedure performed in the office under local anesthesia to reshape the lower portion of the ear. It typically takes less than an hour and has very minimal downtime. You will also be able to resume your daily routine after surgery.

  • Gauged lobes that have been stretched and need to be restored to a normal appearance
  • Aging causes the lobes to elongate
