Surgical Restoration of Ear Lobe: Restoring Ear's Original Form and Shape!
In the realm of cosmetic surgeries, one procedure that has gained significant attention is Ear Lobe Repair, also known as Lobuloplasty. This minor surgical procedure is designed to restore the shape, size, and contour of the earlobe, often distorted due to trauma, stretched piercings, or aging.
Dr. Rajat Gupta, a well-renowned plastic, cosmetic, and reconstruction surgeon, specialises in this procedure at RG Aesthetics in India. With a thorough understanding of aesthetic needs and a commitment to offering the best cosmetic procedures with the latest technology, Dr. Gupta is an ideal choice for those seeking an expert hand.
The Procedure
The Ear Lobe Repair surgery involves skin removal from specific earlobe areas, approximation of the underlying fat or tissue, and suturing to restore normal shape. Various techniques are used, including V-plasty, Crescent excision, and simple closure for split earlobes or more complex repair for stretched thin lobes caused by gauges.
The procedure, typically performed under local anesthesia, lasts between 20 to 45 minutes and is often carried out as an outpatient procedure. Dissolvable sutures are commonly used, eliminating the need for suture removal, and incisions are strategically placed in natural creases for minimal visible scarring.
Benefits
The benefits of Ear Lobe Repair surgery are numerous. It restores a natural, symmetrical, and youthful earlobe contour, repairs tears, splits, or stretched earlobes due to heavy earrings, gauges, or trauma, and allows re-piercing of earlobes after healing. The procedure also improves physical comfort by correcting deformities that may cause discomfort or snagging, and minimal scarring is a bonus.
When Is It Recommended?
Ear Lobe Repair surgery is recommended when earlobes are torn, elongated, or stretched due to the use of heavy earrings, trauma, or gauges. It is also suggested for those with a split earlobe or a hole that has widened excessively, for cosmetic reasons to improve the shape and size of the earlobe due to aging or deformities, and prior to re-piercing if the earlobe is damaged or thinned from previous piercings.
Aftercare
After the surgery, a sterile dressing is applied, and a follow-up is scheduled after approximately one week for healing assessment. Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately or shortly after surgery, and the healing time is about a week. Surgeons prescribe painkillers for the first few days.
For the best results, smoking should be avoided for a few weeks to facilitate a faster healing process.
In summary, Lobuloplasty is a safe, quick outpatient surgery aimed at repairing or reshaping earlobes with functional and aesthetic improvements, particularly advised for those with stretched, torn, or deformed earlobes seeking restoration or future re-piercing.
