Earlobe Repair: Is there a procedure to repair split ear lobes?

Many patients want to reduce the size of their earlobes. Although this requires a procedure related to Otoplasty, it is much simpler and less invasive.

Some people want to change the size of their ears; also, some are worried about their resulting shape after surgery. Either way, Otoplasty may be an option.

Otoplasty seems like a simple procedure. But, be careful, every patient has to avoid any strenuous activity as long as the surgeon recommends.

After Otoplasty, follow your surgeon´s advice. Every patient has to wear a headband to protect their ears and help the healing process.

After Otoplasty, some time is needed for the ears to achieve their new form. It is very important to wear a headband, as directed by your surgeon, but do not worry if you notice some slight movement.

Otoplasty aims to achieve natural balance and proportion. Ideally, ears should extend from the base of the nose to eyebrow level.

This technique can be useful, but is only ideal in few patients. The traditional otoplasty technique allows the ear to be better positioned.
