Common Signs and Concerns
Partial or complete earlobe tears
Elongated piercing holes
Stretched lobes after gauges
Asymmetry or contour changes

Your provider may recommend one or more options based on your skin, medical history, and goals:
Local anesthesia for comfort
Careful removal of damaged edges and precise suturing
Follow-up care while the repair heals

The procedure often takes about 30 minutes. Sutures generally remain for one to two weeks, and re-piercing may be considered after the ear has healed for roughly three months.
