Many people seek earlobe reduction before and after results when their lobes look long, heavy, or stretched. Earlobe reduction surgery trims and reshapes an enlarged lobe into a smaller, more balanced form. Aging, genetics, and years of heavy earrings can all stretch the lobe. A careful closure restores a natural ear contour with a fine, well hidden incision.
Double board certification in dermatology and Mohs micrographic surgery gives Dr. Rokhsar the precision this lobe work needs. Our team also performs earlobe repair in New York for thinning or torn lobes. Patients with split piercings can review torn earlobe repair too. The patient result below was treated at our New York City and Long Island practices.
Earlobe Reduction for an Enlarged Lobe (Patient 1)
The earlobe in the first image hangs long and full, with a heavy lower edge that pulls the lobe downward. After surgery, the lobe sits higher and looks shorter and more balanced against the rest of the ear. A fine incision follows the natural lobe border and blends with the surrounding skin. The reshaped lobe keeps a soft, rounded outline.
