Split Earlobe Repair Before & Afters

Earlobes can become partially, entirely split or stretch by trauma or gradually as a result of wearing earrings. This can also result in the widening of the earlobe hole causing problems with earring to be inserted or fall out. At CLNQ, in Cheshire & Manchester earlobe repair procedures are offered to restore the earlobe surgically. The earlobe repair aims to close the existing piercing hole or completely re-join the split. This surgical procedure is relatively simple and performed under a local anaesthetic. Book a consultation for expert earlobe repair assessment at our Manchester or Cheshire clinics.

With earlobe repair Manchester & Cheshire patients get a relatively simple procedure performed under a local anaesthetic. The surgeon will inject the earlobe to make it numb before the process. Once it is safe to start, the surgeon will excise the existing split or piercing hole, and then they will suture the skin together with dissolvable stitches, which will naturally fall out after two weeks. Full recovery will take approximately 2 to 3 months to regain its full strength before getting re-pierced.
This is performed under local anaesthetic. The procedure involves suturing of the split using dissolvable stitches. When considering earlobe repair Cheshire & Manchester patients should know that potential risks include:
It is normal to get some swelling after any treatment and this usually takes a few days to settle. Some patients may also experience bruising or bleeding which is can be related to medication being taken. Some medicines such as aspirin and herbal supplements can increase your risk of bleeding and bruising.
Recurrent splitting of the earlobe may occur following the repair. This can be due to poor healing due to underlying medical conditions or smoking. Future stretching or splitting may occur with wearing of heavy earrings or trauma.
All patients have some degree of asymmetry between the earlobes and sometimes repair of a spilt may result in some difference between the two sides.
Any surgical procedure can result in change in sensation to the skin in the surrounding area. This is due to some of the sensory nerve being cut during the procedure.
Any surgical procedure will result in scarring. The scar is permanent but in most people it will improve and fade with time. In some patients, hypertrophic or keloid scarring may occur resulting in raised, red and lumpy scars.
Infections are uncommon following these procedures although they may occur. Usually these would improve with use of oral antibiotics.
There may be some indentation or notching along the repair line following the procedure.
There may be some change in shape to the earlobe following repair. This is usually if you have had prolonged stretched earlobes.

Using an earlobe repair glue will not fix a split or stretched ear lobe. This is because the skin of the piercing hole has epithelialized meaning a new skin has formed over the tract. This means that it cannot join to the other side. The way to repair this involves cutting out the tract or piercing hole and stitching it back together with fresh edges of skin. We do use a skin glue on top of the repair which acts a dressing whilst it repairs underneath.
