Split Earlobe Repair
Torn, stretched earlobes,
repaired with a natural shape in mind.
#Earlobes stretched by earrings and piercings
#Earlobes torn by sudden injury
Earlobe Laceration
It's not just a "hole" problem.
The shape of the earlobe has changed.
Earlobe laceration means the earlobe tissue has stretched or split
from earrings, piercings, or injury. It may start as a slightly elongated hole,
but ongoing strain or weight can tear it all the way through the bottom of the lobe.
We don't simply close the split skin.
We assess your earlobe's shape, thickness, and tissue damage,
then plan a repair that blends with the surrounding shape.

What Type of Earlobe Laceration Do You Have?
The repair method may vary depending on the extent and shape of the damage.
-
Stretched Piercing Hole
An earring hole that has gradually
become longer or wider -
Partial Split
Part of the earlobe is torn
and hangs down in a long strip -
Complete Split
Torn from the hole
to the bottom edge, leaving
the lobe in two pieces. -
Traumatic Tear
Suddenly torn when an earring
is pulled or in an accident. -
Deformed After
Past RepairUneven earlobe shape or scarring
left after a previous repair
Repair Is Recommended If...
- Your earring hole has stretched downward
- Heavy earrings make your earlobe split further
- Your piercing hole has become too large
- Your earlobe is fully torn or split by an accident
- Your earlobe shape is uneven after a past repair
- The scar on your earlobe is noticeable
We don't just stitch it back.
We restore the earlobe's shape.
Though small, the earlobe sits at the side of the face,
where left and right are easily compared. So we look at the extent of
tissue damage, earlobe thickness, the lower curve, and the overall shape.
We don't just look at the tear.
We think about the shape your earlobe will have after repair.

After suture removal, checking earlobe shape and scar condition
※ The actual surgical method may vary depending on the location and extent of the laceration and the condition of the earlobe tissue.
After Care · Re-Piercing
After rebuilding the earlobe,
recovery matters too.
Right after repair, swelling and firmness may change as time passes.
We check that the earlobe shape and suture site heal steadily, and guide you through the care you need.

Earlobe Scar
A torn earlobe is different
from a raised scar on the ear.
If you have a raised scar on or around your earlobe,
we check its current condition along with whether there's a laceration.
