Split Earlobe Repair Surgery
Split Earlobe Repair Surgery is a minor surgical procedure performed to correct partially or completely torn earlobes, most commonly caused by heavy earrings, trauma, or long-term stretching of piercing holes.
Although medically simple, a split earlobe can cause significant cosmetic concern, self-consciousness, and difficulty wearing earrings.
The procedure involves precise reshaping and suturing of the earlobe tissue to restore its natural contour and strength.
It is typically performed under local anesthesia, is quick, safe, and offers excellent cosmetic results when done by an experienced ENT surgeon.
