Torn earlobe after years of wearing heavy earrings.*

This is a 47 year old woman, who presented to the office with a torn earlobe. Patient states after years of wearing heavy earrings, her earlobe began stretching, eventually tearing the earlobe. During the consultation Dr. Guarino discussed the procedure, which is very non invasive and can be done in the office in about 20-30 minutes. Repair is done with a local numbing injection, excising the torn area and suturing the earlobe back together and while keeping the shape and size of the earlobe.
