Ear Lobuloplasty
This
procedure is done to treat torned ear lobes.
The Problem
Wearing heavy ear rings over a long period of time cuts through the
ear lobe.
This is evident by
enlargement of the hole initially and gradually whole ear lobule
splits into two.
Surgery
The ear lobuloplasty to correct this problem is done under local
anesthetic on an outpatient basis. The ear tissue around the hole
is excised and the lobe is repaired in two layers incorporating
a "Z" at the tip to avert the peeking. During this process
the existing hole is closed.
Post Op.
The sutures are removed on 5-6th day and patient
is asked to massage the area twice daily and wear clip on earrings.
Fresh holes can be
made only after 3 months when healing is complete and it is recommended
to make fresh hole at a different site and not at the top of the
repair site.
