Before and after earlobe repair in a 46 year old woman. Her ear piercings were stretched out after years of wearing heavy earrings and talking on the phone. Her earrings sat too low on her earlobe and she kept losing stud earrings that fell through the stretched hole.
A lobule repair and repiercing was performed under local anesthesia in the office. She brought with her small gold hoops that she knew she could live with for at least 6 weeks. The old piercing was surgically removed and repaired with rapidly dissolving sutures.
Her earlobes were repierced at the same procedure. Follow up photos are shown 6 weeks after surgery. She is applying scar gel and is happy to have normal looking earlobes again!
