Torn earlobes or the desire to sew up ear tunnels are common in plastic surgery. It is a minor procedure, but it should be planned, discussed and carried out as precisely as possible.
How to sew up torn ear lobes and ear tunnels?
Whether it's correcting pierced earlobes, correcting flesh tunnels or stretched ear tunnels - the options for correcting them are as varied as the shape of the earlobes. We are happy to offer you all methods for earlobe correction. Even torn earlobes can be corrected gently and harmoniously. The scar design is very individual and is analyzed and determined in detail with us before the procedure.
Sew up torn ear lobes and ear tunnels - then:
As with any operation, you should take it easy for yourself and your wound for about 2-3 weeks. After an earlobe correction, the scar will never be as stable as it was originally. Therefore, the basic rule is: do not pierce new ears until 2-3 months after the corrective operation and at a distance of 2-3mm from the scar.
Earlobe Correction – Synonyms & Principle
Synonyms, common problems: Correction of torn earlobes (mostly caused by earrings), correction of scars in the earlobe area after tunneling, correction of overly large earlobes
principle: Optimization of mostly torn earlobes, but also after wearing tunnels or piercings for a long time, in some cases just to reduce the size of the earlobe
is sometimes combined with…
- ear reduction
efficiency
works very well - you exchange the torn, tunneled, or too large or too long earlobe for a scar (usually not very noticeable) - This scar is still unstable in the first few weeks after the operation - and basically remains a weak point forever.
treatment duration
On average, an earlobe correction takes 1/2-1 hour
repetition of the treatment
Basically, an earlobe correction is designed for 1x.
A final result can only be spoken of after at least one year.
Repeating the treatment beforehand is not necessarily recommended.
Minor additions and changes can be achieved using hyaluronic acid.
Application in which body region
ear, earlobe
decision-making aids
Essentially, these are fundamental decisionsthat constitute an earlobe correction.
Should I have earlobe correction do it at all? – Sometimes it is better not to do something at all.
Good advice highlights all the advantages and disadvantages of a treatment – and thus helps you make the right decision.
Problem: The problems are not always the same. Depending on the position of the pierced earrings, the surgical planning can be different - good advice pays off here!
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is sufficient. This makes the operation a relatively minor procedure
planning afterwards – the scar will always remain a weak point. Therefore, no fresh ear piercings should be done in the first few weeks (depending on the healing process and the stability of the wound). And after this time, always keep a certain minimum distance of 2-3mm from the weak point (scar)
overall shape: It is important to bring the shape of the earlobe back into harmony with the entire ear. The edge of the earlobe should have a natural and beautiful shape,
What should you have heard/read before an earlobe correction?
Asymmetry: Whenever there are two sides, there will always be an asymmetry before and after treatment. No two halves of the face are the same, and eye sockets often differ by a few millimeters in height. It is impossible and unrealistic to promise a symmetrical result. But of course the goal is always to achieve the most symmetrical result possible.
Prejudices
The scar is stable after earlobe correction
facts
the scar will always remain a weak spot. If this is not taken care of, recurrences can occur
common possible side effects/complications
- postoperative bleeding
- swelling
- Asymmetry (always present on two sides to a certain extent)
- irregular shape of the earlobe edge
details Information on possible complications can be found in the information documents
In summary, good preparation (information, explanation, preliminary examinations, problem analysis, etc.) and the surgeon’s experience are important factors for the success of an earlobe correction
You should avoid…
- too early stress on the scar
anesthesia
Possible anesthesiaforms for an earlobe correction
- Local anesthesia is usually sufficient
the operation
Deadlines must be met in Austria (surgical information and anesthesia information) – this means that there is a waiting period of at least 3-4 weeks from the decision to undergo earlobe correction, but often longer.
THINKING POSITIVELY – helps. It not only prolongs life, but is also always a good first step towards any treatment or operation.
the operation
Rest for 3 weeks in the sense of:
- do not lift more than 5-6kg
- nothing jerky
- don't work headfirst
our preferred technique/recommendation
- Local anesthesia
- precise planning
- precise suture, especially of the earlobe edge
- Harmony of the earlobe in relation to the rest of the ear and face
Cost
Guidelines:
400-500-750 per side – correction of torn earlobe or ear tunnel in LA (depending on effort)
minus costs for the consultation
70 optional special price recommended scar ointment + disinfectant spray (regular after surgery 103)
The prices listed are average values and could be cheaper or more expensive. The final total price will be determined during the second consultation (=consent) depending on the individual effort/planned operation time, combinations, desired clinic/room category and other factors.
reasonable budget
A final cost estimate is only possible and meaningful after a detailed on-site inspection and clarification of individual wishes.
downtime
In general, 2-3 weeks of rest be taken into account – this means specifically:
- lifting no more than 5-6 kg
- no jerky movements
- do not perform any activities overhead
Important to know…
- an earlobe correction is a small, very well calculable procedure
- After the operation, the wound and scar are a weak point and must not be stressed too early
- Even after achieving maximum stability after surgery, the scar remains a weak point
