Torn Earlobe Repairs/Ear Surgery

Hi! I'm Dr. John Farella; a board certified plastic surgeon. The decision to undergo Ear Pinning is an exciting one. It is my belief, that an educated patient allows you to determine your personal goals, and enables you to make an informed decision. I have developed this website as a patient information source. Hopefully, this site will prepare you for your consultation.

A common problem for women is torn earlobes. This occurs from wearing heavy earrings or earrings which are pulled upon, causing the tear. Torn earlobes can be easily repaired under local anesthesia as an office procedure. Sutures are removed in two weeks, and ears may be re-pierced in eight weeks. It is recommended to avoid heavy, and large dangling earrings to prevent recurrence.
