Earlobe Reduction

 

Earlobe reduction surgery is a simple procedure designed to reshape and reduce the size of enlarged, stretched or elongated earlobes. Large earlobes can occur naturally due to genetics, ageing, or prolonged use of heavy earrings, and may affect facial balance or cause self-consciousness.

Frequenty Asked Questions

Am I suitable for earlobe reduction?

You may be suitable for earlobe reduction if you feel your earlobes are too large, stretched, elongated or asymmetrical. The procedure is popular amongst patients whose earlobes have changed due to ageing, genetics or the long-term use of heavy earrings.

What causes enlarged or stretched earlobes?

Large or stretched earlobes can develop naturally due to genetics, ageing and the gradual loss of skin elasticity. They may also occur as a result of wearing heavy earrings over many years, trauma to the earlobe, or previous ear stretching.

Will the results be permanent?

Yes, the results of earlobe reduction surgery are generally permanent. However, the natural ageing process will continue, and wearing very heavy earrings in the future may affect the shape of the earlobes over time.
