What is Earlobe Surgery?
Earlobe surgery, also known as lobuloplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to repair and reshape the earlobes. This surgery can address various issues such as stretched or torn earlobes, elongated earlobes due to aging, and damage from trauma or heavy earrings. Earlobe surgery can restore a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance to the earlobes, enhancing overall facial harmony.
What applications is this used for?
- Repair Torn Earlobes: To repair earlobes that have been torn due to injury, earrings, or gauges.
- Correct Stretched Earlobes: To address earlobes that have been stretched over time due to heavy earrings or intentional stretching (gauging).
- Rejuvenate Aging Earlobes: To reduce the size of elongated earlobes that have stretched or sagged with age.
- Improve Aesthetics: To enhance the overall appearance of the earlobes, making them more proportionate and balanced.
The Procedure
- Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Mr Jeevan. During this session, you’ll discuss your goals, medical history, and any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure.
- Planning: Mr Jeevan will perform a detailed assessment of your earlobes and discuss the best approach to achieve your desired results. This includes determining the extent of the repair or reshaping needed.
- Anesthesia: Earlobe surgery is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring your comfort and safety during the procedure.
- Incisions and Repair: The specific technique used will depend on the nature of the problem:
- For Torn Earlobes: The edges of the torn earlobe are carefully trimmed and sutured back together to create a smooth, continuous edge.
- For Stretched Earlobes: Excess tissue is removed, and the remaining earlobe is reshaped and sutured to achieve a natural appearance.
- For Elongated Earlobes: A portion of the elongated earlobe is removed, and the earlobe is reshaped and sutured to create a more youthful contour.
- Closing Incisions: Once the desired adjustments are made, the incisions are closed with fine sutures, and any necessary dressings are applied to support the healing process.
What results can i expect ?
- Restored Earlobe Appearance: Earlobe surgery can effectively repair torn, stretched, or elongated earlobes, restoring a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
- Enhanced Confidence: Many patients experience a boost in self-esteem and confidence following earlobe surgery, feeling more comfortable and satisfied with their appearance.
- Natural-Looking Results: The goal of earlobe surgery is to achieve natural-looking results that complement your overall facial features.
What is the recovery time ?
- Immediate Postoperative Period (0-1 Week): You may experience some swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort around the earlobes, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and cold compresses. It’s important to keep the surgical site clean and dry.
- Intermediate Recovery (1-2 Weeks): Swelling and bruising will gradually subside. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, but should avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least a week.
- Long-Term Recovery (2-6 Weeks and Beyond): The earlobes will continue to heal, and sutures will typically be removed within a week. You may need to avoid wearing earrings or applying pressure to the earlobes for several weeks to ensure proper healing.
what patients say
Warming and attentive...
Incredibly considered, warming and attentive, are few of this doctor’s plethora of personal and professional qualities with intricate insight made simple in the flow of conversation which was always a great pleasure given just how much you can learn being in this doctor’s company – a professional of immense care and experience. I was personally in search of a procedure to amend a defect I had accumulated from multiple breaks which has since been corrected, all thanks to the doctor and his amazing team who have given me all the support and advice I could need in this process which I could never take for granted and shall remember fondly moving forward renewed after a successful operation. Eternal gratitude to the doctor and all nurses involved for looking after me. A true credit to the profession. Thank you Rhinoplasty patient

Perfect end result...
I recently had a breast augmentation with Mr Jeevan and it’s been the best decision I ever made. The end result is perfect and has give me some much needed confidence. Now let’s start with Mr Jeevan himself, he has been amazing throughout my Journey. From start to finish he really couldn’t do enough. From the very first consultation, he advised me on sizing, procedure and give me some much needed reassurance (I was a very nervous and squeamish patient). He has been very professional, approachable and accommodating
