What Does It Do?
Earlobe surgery is intended to repair a torn or "cleft" earlobe, remove a keloid scar, or reduce the size or protruding nature of the earlobe.
Are You a Candidate?
If you have a defect of the earlobe, you may be a candidate. Contact our office for a consultation or further information.
How Are these Procedures Performed?
Most earlobe surgery is performed in the office under local anesthesia or in conjunction with other facial surgery in an operating room.
Cleft earlobes repaired commonly with a "Z-plasty" to rearrange the scar. The old piercing is closed, and the ear may be re-pierced.
Keloids are typically excised and a pressure dressing is sewn in place for a few weeks to prevent recurrence. Additional techniques are available to treat early scar formation.
Earlobe reductions or setbacks are performed with incisions and local tissue re-arrangements tailored to your specific anatomy and deformity.
Financing:
We will be pleased to help you obtain financing for this procedure. We are affiliated with companies that offer financing for cosmetic surgery.
Dr. Slenkovich frequently performs facial, eyelid, nasal and ear reconstructions for trauma, solid tumors, skin cancer or other defects or scars. Please contact our office for a consultation or further information.
