What is earlobe repair?
Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure that corrects damage to the earlobe. This may include:
Split or torn earlobes – often caused by heavy earrings or accidental pulling
Stretched earlobes (gauges) – gradual enlargement from gauges or plugs
Enlarged or stretched piercing holes – from long-term wear of heavy earrings
Loose earring holes – where piercings have stretched over time
The procedure reshapes and repairs the earlobe, allowing for optional re-piercing after healing.
When should earlobe repair be considered?
Repair may be considered if:
The earlobe is split or torn
Piercing holes have stretched or become unsightly
Gauges or stretched piercings are no longer desired
Earrings no longer sit properly due to enlarged holes
You wish to have the earlobe reshaped for cosmetic reasons
A consultation is required to assess suitability.
The earlobe repair procedure
Earlobe repair is usually performed under local anaesthetic in a clinic setting.
The procedure may involve:
Numbing the earlobe
Removing the stretched or damaged tissue
Suturing the edges to create a natural shape
Closure with fine sutures for optimal cosmetic outcome
Procedure time is typically 15–30 minutes per earlobe.
Recovery and aftercare
Following the procedure:
Mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising may occur
Sutures are usually removed after 7–14 days
Wound care instructions will be provided
Avoid sleeping on the side of the repair until healed
Avoid wearing earrings for approximately 6–8 weeks
Healing times vary between individuals.
Possible risks
All procedures carry risks, which may include:
Infection
Bleeding
Scarring
Asymmetry
Delayed wound healing
Recurrence of stretching if re-pierced too soon or with heavy earrings
These will be discussed during your consultation.
Does earlobe repair hurt?
Local anaesthetic is used to numb the area. Some discomfort may occur during or after the procedure.
Can I have my ears re-pierced after repair?
Yes, re-piercing is typically possible after the earlobe has fully healed. This is usually done approximately 6–8 weeks after the procedure, or longer if advised by your doctor.
Will there be a scar?
All surgical procedures result in a scar. Incisions are placed along natural contours to minimise visible scarring. Over time, the scar typically fades and becomes less noticeable.
How much does earlobe repair cost in Sydney?
Costs depend on whether one or both earlobes require repair and the complexity of the case.
The gap fee for one earlobe repair:
loose earring hole is $600
torn ear is $750

A slowly growing mole in the ear over six months, painless and without discharge, was removed under local anesthesia. It was sent to pathology for diagnosis.There were two cysts side by side in the earlobe. The cysts were removed from the back of the ear to conceal the scar. The cyst was initially removed several years ago by another surgeon in Westmead, but it recurred. Dr. Kim removed the cyst under local anesthesia. The most important factor in reducing the recurrence rate is the completeness of cyst excision during surgery. The cyst was completely removed, and it should not recur.A mole was removed from the ear under local anaesthesia.Cyst removal surgery from the back of the ear. This is an epidermal cyst.
