When should you take this seriously?
Surgery is usually recommended when the problem is clearly affecting health, breathing, hearing, sleep, infection control or daily comfort, and when non-surgical care is not enough.
Review sooner if you notice:
- Fresh tear with bleeding, pain or swelling
- Redness, pus, itching or infection around the earlobe
- Large visible gap or split that keeps increasing
- Keloid-like thickening or repeated irritation
What is this surgery?
Earlobe repair is a minor surgical procedure that refreshes the torn edges and closes the split in a planned way. The aim is to restore a natural-looking earlobe contour.
It is commonly done under local anaesthesia. The doctor explains wound care, follow-up and when re-piercing may be considered after healing.
