What Earlobe Repair Is
Earlobe repair is a minor procedure to restore an earlobe that has been stretched, split or torn. Dr Prochazka removes the damaged edges and carefully stitches the earlobe back into a natural shape.
It’s commonly used for:
- Earlobes stretched by gauges or heavy earrings
- Earlobes split or torn by an earring pulling through
- Damage from an injury
In many cases, the ear can be re-pierced later, once it has fully healed.
Is Earlobe Repair Right for You?
Earlobe repair suits most people with a stretched, split or torn earlobe who are in good general health. It’s a straightforward procedure with a simple recovery.
Dr Prochazka will look at your earlobe at your consultation and talk you through what the repair involves and what to expect.
What to Expect on the Day
Earlobe repair is usually a short procedure performed under local anaesthetic, so you’re awake and comfortable with the area numbed. You’ll be given clear instructions on how to prepare and what to expect, and you can usually go home the same day.
Full details are confirmed with you at your consultation.

Recovery
Recovery from earlobe repair is generally simple. You may have some swelling, tenderness or bruising around the earlobe for a few days, and you’ll be given clear aftercare instructions to help it heal well. Any stitches are usually removed or dissolve within a week or two.
Your specific aftercare, including when you can re-pierce the ear, will be explained to you.
Risks and Considerations
Even a minor procedure carries some risk, so it’s worth being clear. Earlobe repair is generally very safe, but possible risks and considerations include infection, scarring, a small notch or irregularity in the earlobe’s edge, asymmetry between the ears, and occasionally the need for a small revision. Results vary from person to person.
Every risk relevant to you will be discussed with Dr Prochazka before you go ahead.
Why Fine Cosmetic Surgery

No hard sell. Just honest advice, and quality care kept genuinely accessible.

Common Questions
In many cases, yes, once the earlobe has fully healed. Dr Prochazka will advise you on the right timeframe for your ear at your consultation and as part of your aftercare.
The procedure is usually done under local anaesthetic, so the area is numbed and you’re comfortable throughout. Afterwards you may have some tenderness for a few days, which settles quickly.
A small scar is expected, since the earlobe is stitched back together. Dr Prochazka repairs the earlobe to keep any scarring as discreet as possible, and it settles over time.
Recovery is generally simple. Initial swelling or tenderness eases over a few days, and any stitches are usually removed or dissolve within a week or two. Your specific aftercare is explained to you.
Dr Tony Prochazka performs the procedure himself. The setting and anaesthetic are explained to you at your consultation.
