Earlobe Repair Concord, CA | Eric Mariotti, M.D.

Understanding Earlobe Repair

Earlobe repair is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address various aesthetic and functional concerns related to ear appearance. Patients may seek this treatment for multiple reasons, including torn earlobes, stretched piercings, or disproportionate ear shape.

Common Reasons for Earlobe Repair

• Torn or split earlobe from heavy jewelry
• Stretched earlobe from gauges or ear stretching
• Elongated or oversized earlobes
• Desire to restore ear symmetry and proportion

Procedure Overview

Dr. Eric Mariotti performs earlobe repair procedures in his Concord office using local anesthesia. The surgical technique varies depending on the specific issue, ensuring minimal discomfort and optimal aesthetic results.

Surgical Approach

The procedure typically involves carefully removing damaged tissue, reshaping the earlobe, and meticulously suturing the area to promote optimal healing. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately following the surgery.

Recovery and Expectations

Earlobe repair recovery is relatively quick and straightforward. Patients can expect minimal downtime, with most returning to work the same day. Complete healing usually occurs within one week, though full ear piercing restoration may take 1-3 months.

Important Considerations

• Avoid re-piercing in the same location
• Follow post-operative care instructions
• Attend follow-up consultations
