Earlobes can be torn or stretched as a result of the normal aging process, or as a result of trauma to an earring which causes the earlobe to split in half. Stretched or elongated earlobes are aesthetically problematic and can be repaired by a minor procedure by a skilled plastic surgeon. Stretched earlobe repair offers the benefits of a cosmetic and reconstructive procedure. Whether your scars are young or old, we have solutions that are minimally-invasive, outpatient, with minimal downtime or recovery.
