EARLOBE REPAIR ORLAND PARK, IL | EVAN T. MANOLIS M.D.

UNDERSTANDING EARLOBE DAMAGE AND REPAIR

Ear piercing can expose earlobes to risks of stretching, tearing, and
keloid scarring. These damages often result in visible split tears
that impact aesthetic appearance and earring wearing capability.
Earlobe repair surgery provides a targeted solution for individuals
experiencing these common ear piercing complications.

WHO BENEFITS FROM EARLOBE REPAIR?

 	* Individuals with torn or stretched earlobe piercings
	* Patients experiencing elongated piercing tracts
	* Those seeking to restore ear aesthetics

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Earlobe repair is a relatively straightforward surgical procedure
designed to restore the ear's natural contour. The process involves
carefully removing healed skin from the interior of the torn earlobe
and precisely suturing the fresh edges together.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

 	* Precise surgical excision of damaged earlobe tissue
	* Careful realignment of earlobe edges
	* Meticulous suturing to promote optimal healing

RECOVERY AND HEALING PROCESS

Following the procedure, patients can expect suture removal
approximately five days post-surgery. Dr. Manolis recommends caution
when considering future ear piercings, advising placement away from
the surgical scar to prevent potential re-tearing.

IMPORTANT PIERCING RECOMMENDATIONS

 	* Avoid re-piercing directly through the scar
	* Choose piercing locations to the right or left of the scar
	* Understand that scar tissue is inherently weaker

PROCEDURE CONSIDERATIONS

Earlobe repair surgery is typically considered a cosmetic procedure
and is not usually covered by insurance. However, Evan T. Manolis M.D.
offers multiple financing options to make the treatment accessible.

EAR PINNING SURGERY (OTOPLASTY) CHICAGO, IL | MEADOWS PLASTIC SURGERY

UNDERSTANDING OTOPLASTY: EAR RESHAPING PROCEDURE

Otoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the
appearance of the ears. This specialized surgery focuses on addressing
ear shape, size, and positioning without impacting hearing function.
Meadows Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive otoplasty solutions for
patients seeking aesthetic ear improvements.

WHAT CAN OTOPLASTY ADDRESS?

Otoplasty can effectively address multiple ear-related aesthetic
concerns, including:

 	* Protruding ears that extend outward from the head
	* Abnormal ear constructions like lop ear
	* Large or stretched earlobes
	* Ear deformities from trauma or injury
	* Microtia (abnormally small ears)

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR EAR SURGERY

Otoplasty candidates typically include individuals who feel
self-conscious about their ear appearance. The procedure is most
commonly performed on children between 4 and 14 years old, as ears are
almost fully developed by age 4. Candidates must be in good general
health and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Meadows Plastic Surgery performs otoplasty as an outpatient procedure
lasting approximately 2-3 hours. The surgical approach varies based on
patient age and specific ear correction needs. Surgeons make a small
incision behind the ear, strategically placed in the natural crease
where the ear meets the head.

RECOVERY AND HEALING

Post-surgical recovery is typically straightforward. Patients may
experience mild discomfort for a few days, with most returning to
normal activities within one week. Surgical dressings are used
initially, and patients are advised to avoid sleeping on their sides
during the initial healing period.

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While complications from otoplasty are rare, patients should be aware
of potential risks such as minor infections, changes in skin
sensation, and slight asymmetry. Meadows Plastic Surgery prioritizes
patient safety and provides comprehensive pre-surgical consultations
to discuss individual concerns.

protecting the ears and following specific post-operative
instructions. Patients can expect initial swelling and redness, with
