Earlobe Reduction Surgery

Earlobe Reduction Surgery is a cosmetic procedure aimed at reducing the size of large or stretched earlobes. This condition can result from genetics, aging, or the wearing of heavy earrings. The surgery involves reshaping the earlobe to create a more harmonious balance with the rest of the ear and face.

• Improved Proportions: Corrects the size of the earlobes to better match the scale of the ears and face.
• Enhanced Appearance: Offers a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing look, allowing for greater flexibility with hairstyles and earrings.
• Quick Procedure with Minimal Downtime: Earlobe reduction is typically a quick, outpatient procedure with most patients returning to normal activities soon after.
• Permanent Results: Changes made during the procedure are permanent, providing long-lasting satisfaction with the appearance of the earlobes.

Ideal candidates for Earlobe Reduction Surgery are individuals who:

• Feel self-conscious about the size or shape of their earlobes.
• Have earlobes that are disproportionately large compared to the rest of their ears.
• Experience discomfort from heavy earrings pulling on elongated earlobes.
• Are looking for a permanent solution to enhance the appearance of their ears.
• Are in good general health and have realistic expectations about the results of the surgery.

Dr. Zuckerman performs earlobe reduction surgery under local anesthesia. During the procedure, he carefully marks the desired size and shape of the earlobe before removing excess tissue. The incisions are then closed with fine sutures, which minimize scarring and promote a natural-looking contour.

At Zuckerman Plastic Surgery, we are committed to helping you achieve the look you desire with the highest standards of care and precision.

Recovery from earlobe reduction surgery is generally straightforward. Patients may experience mild discomfort and swelling, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Sutures are usually removed within one week, and patients can resume wearing earrings after the earlobes have fully healed, typically in about 4 to 6 weeks.
