EARLOBE REPAIR

Short Summary

The earlobe can be repaired either with dermal filler or with minor surgery performed under local anaesthetic. Pierced earlobes may become stretched or torn over time, and both filler and surgical repair can restore contour, volume and symmetry. Although people often associate ageing with facial changes such as jowls and volume loss, the earlobes are likewise susceptible to ageing and may benefit from treatment to rejuvenate their shape.

Additional information

  • The ageing process causes our earlobes to lose volume, elasticity, and firmness, leading to a deflated or drooping appearance. Factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and wearing heavy earrings can accelerate these changes.

  • Earlobe fillers are a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to replenish lost volume, restore structure, and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines in the earlobes.

  • Local anaesthetic injections to numb the ear, then precise plastic surgical techniques to repair stretched or torn piercings. The wound is closed with very fine sutures, which are removed within seven days in the clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions

    • What is the post treatment advice?

      • Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas to prevent migration of the product

      • For the first 24 hours, keep face dry and clean, wash with lukewarm water, allow to air dry and apply a simple lip moisturiser

      • Do not apply makeup around the injected areas for 12 hours

      • Avoid sunlight for 24 hours post procedure

      • As part of your skin health regimen, from 24 hours post procedure avoid direct sunlight on the treated area, using a hat where possible, and with broad spectrum physical SPF 50 and 5 star UVA protection such as the Forlle’d Hyalogy UV protector or ZO Sheer Fluid Broad Spectrum Sunscreen.

    • Filler is generally considered low risk, however almost invariably results in swelling and a small chance of bruising.

  • Prior to arrival

    A week before treatment stop all use of irritant topical products (Acids, Retinol, Vitamin C or scrubs)

    If you are taking blood thinners, including NSAIDs such as Asprin or Ibuprofen, you should discuss with your doctor whether it is possible to discontinue their use throughout the course of your treatment.

    On arrival

    Dr Sultan will undertake an initial consultation to understand any of your concerns and to review your medical history, after which the treatment area will be photographed. He will advise you of the results that the treatment would likely achieve.

    Once a treatment plan is agreed, he will administer the filler, after which there will be a number of small red bumps at the injection sites. These bumps usually settle down within hours and within 24 hours, should not be visible.

    Results

    The effects of the treatment commence within 3-5 days and it is normal for it to take between 10-12 days for the full effect of the treatment to become visible.

    We will arrange for a follow up video consultation 12-14 days following the treatment and, if required, we may suggest a complimentary top-up at this point.

    Within 3-4 months of the treatment, we would expect the effects to be wearing off and recommend booking a return visit.

  • The treatment is unsuitable for:

    • Patients who are pregnant
