Gauge Earlobe Repair in Westchester, NY
Why Have Gauged Earlobe Repair?
The excessive stretching from the large earring posts cause severe thinning and distortion of the earlobe. This deformity in the ears can create difficulty finding employment or those with this issue can experience social prejudice. This limiting factor may affect the patient both socially and professionally.
Your Consultation
Patients who want to get a gauged earlobe repair procedure will need to schedule a consultation with Dr. John Farella. The affected area will be examined, and patients will be asked questions about their medical history and health.
Dr. Farella will walk the patient through the earlobe repair process, and they will discuss the details of recovery. If patients have any concerns or questions about the procedure, they can ask them during the consultation.
Gauged Earlobe Repair Preparation
Patients should take approximately four months to down gauge their earlobes prior to surgical repair. Down gauging allows the earlobe to shrink down as much as possible before attempting reconstruction. On rare occasions, where there is extreme stretching, a secondary procedure may be needed.
