Earlobes are an important element of overall facial symmetry, which is why many people choose earlobe repair. As a person ages, their earlobes age along with them:

  • Earlobes usually lengthen and appear larger as skin loses elasticity.

  • Holes from childhood piercings and scars from surgeries become more noticeable.

  • Tears or gaps caused by accidents or illness draw attention away from the face.

The Weston Center For Plastic Surgery wants to help patients change their earlobes to reflect more accurately who they are rather than any damage that has been done over time.

WHAT IS EARLOBE REPAIR?

Earlobe repair reshapes your lobes to give you a more natural look and contour to your ear. We help you create the look you desire. Surgical repair might involve closing holes and tears or giving your ears natural contour.
