At Skin Physicians & Surgeons, we can repair stretched or torn earlobes in our office using only local anesthetic. Torn and elongated ear lobes can be repaired with a minor surgical procedure while most torn ear lobes can be repaired by simply taking out the edges of the tear and repositioning the new edges evenly and allowing them to heal in place.

Elongated and misshaped earlobes can be shortened or reshaped to provide a more attractive, youthful appearance. If your problem is that your earrings tend to point downward, you can see significant improvement after using a filler injection (Restylane or Juvederm) which will make thin earlobes thicker and help to support those heavy, down-turned earrings.
