What is Earlobe Repair?
Earlobe repair surgery for men and women is used to close and/or repair a torn or stretched earlobe, restoring it to its original shape and function. Piercing of the ears can be maintained after earlobe repair surgery.
Introduction
Introduction to Earlobe Repair
Earlobe repair is a simple procedure designed to help clients restore the natural shape and strength of their earlobes so they look normal again and function as they should.
At AMora MD in Beverly Hills, Dr. Arash Moradzadeh approaches earlobe repair with the same level of care and attention he brings to more complex facial procedures for his Los Angeles-area patients, because details matter and subtle fixes can make a big difference.
Who Are the Best Candidates For Earlobe Repair?
Following an initial consultation, Dr. Moradzadeh can advise you on the best options for treating a damaged, torn, or stretched earlobe. Earlobes are typically one of the major focal points on the face, and a torn, deformed, or split earlobe can detract from one’s appearance or prevent you from being able to wear the earrings you want. If a tear has separated your earlobes or stretched them to the point of deformity, earlobe repair surgery may be the recommended option. Patients may also choose to have naturally long, detached earlobes reduced in size using this procedure.
What Are the Benefits of Earlobe Repair?
One of the most immediate advantages is the restoration of a natural, youthful earlobe shape. Torn or stretched earlobes can make the ears appear aged or unbalanced, while repair helps them blend harmoniously with the rest of the face.
Several Los Angeles area patients choose earlobe repair so they can comfortably wear earrings again without fear of further tearing or discomfort. The procedure also improves symmetry, especially when one earlobe has sustained more damage than the other.
Additional benefits include:
- A quick, in-office procedure
- Minimal discomfort and downtime
- Long-lasting, stable results
- Discreet scarring that fades over time
- The option to re-pierce the ears once healing is complete
For patients bothered by even small imperfections, earlobe repair can make a noticeable difference in confidence and appearance.

What to Expect on the Day of Earlobe Repair Surgery
The procedure, which is virtually painless, takes about an hour and involves local anesthesia. Typically, the tissue is cut in a special pattern called a “Z-plasty” flap. This involves removing the damaged skin or ear-piercing tract and suturing the outer and inner layers of skin, along with the fatty tissue between them.

Your Guide to Post-Earlobe Repair Care
Following the procedure, patients are left with a natural-looking, repaired, and functioning earlobe. Recovery time is minimal, and there is almost no pain after the procedure. Patients can return to their normal activities almost immediately.
No dressing is required after surgery — only antibiotic ointment to prevent infection. The stitches are removed about a week later when the swelling has subsided. The earlobe should heal fully within six to eight weeks.
How Much Does Earlobe Repair Cost in Los Angeles, CA?
The cost of earlobe repair in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles can vary based on the extent of the damage, whether one or both earlobes are treated, and the complexity of the repair.
Because earlobe repair is a cosmetic procedure, it is typically not covered by insurance. During your consultation, Dr. Moradzadeh will provide a clear and personalized cost estimate based on your treatment plan.

Other Considerations
An earlobe that has become elongated or flopped can be repaired with a simple surgical procedure, and, if necessary, supplemented with a facial filler such as Juvederm® or Restylane®, which can restore volume to the earlobe and improve its appearance. Dr. Moradzadeh can advise you on the most appropriate treatment to achieve optimal results.
