Earlobe Surgery in Dubai:

Earlobe surgery or lobuloplasty is a distinctive type of Otoplasty that aims to correct deformities or change the shape and size of earlobes. This minor surgical procedure creates small, discrete incisions to correct a range of deformities, including torn, overlarged, unsymmetrical, or wrinkled lobes.

Types of Earlobe Surgery:

Earlobe reduction:

If an individual feels that their earlobes are too large, long, or droopy, then they can opt for wedge reduction or the peripheral edge reduction technique to decrease their size. 

Earlobe Repair:

Earlobe repair fixes split or torn earlobes due to heavy jewellery or other factors. The surgeon signs the two edges and stitches them together for a proportionate appearance. 

Earlobe Reconstruction:

This technique recreates the earlobe structure that is missing due to any trauma, injury, or birth defect. A tissue is grafted from any other body area to reconstruct the earlobe. 

Mohs Earlobe Surgery:

Mohs surgery is used for the treatment of skin cancer on the ear, in which the experts eliminate diseased tissue from the earlobe by making tiny incisions. 

Cost:

Earlobe Repair Cost ranges between 2999 AED to 5299 AED. The cost depends on different factors, so it varies accordingly. 

Causes of Earlobe Damage:

The earlobe is a soft and fleshy part at the bottom of the ear. It becomes damaged due to the following reasons:

• Heavy earrings
• Accidental pulls from clothing
• Bacterial or fungal infections.
• Loss of elasticity due to aging.
• Keloid scars after piercing
• Harsh chemicals or irritants
• Natural birth defects
• Unsterilized jewellery. 

Reasons to undergo Earlobe surgery:

• Split lobes.
• Unsymmetrical ear shape.
• Sagging and wrinkled skin.
• Birth defects in the ears.
• Over-large earlobes.
• Gauging bar.

The Consultation:

At Dynamic Aesthetic Clinic, a consultation is scheduled to discuss your concerns and goals. The expert assesses the extent of earlobe damage, figures out the need for anaesthesia, and creates a customized treatment plan. After the plan, the expert will guide you about some crucial pre-care tips like skipping alcohol, avoiding self-medication, and will give you some dietary instructions. 

Techniques for Earlobe Correction:

• Simple Closure: The expert trims the edges of the tears, aligns them, and simply sutures them
• Z-plasty: A Z-shaped incision is made around the damaged skin to minimize or reposition scarring. 
• Wedge Excision: A wedge-shaped incision is excised from the lobe to address significant deformities. 
• Lobe reconstruction: The entire lobe is reconstructed in cases of severe trauma or significant tissue loss. 

Procedure:

1. Local anaesthesia is used to numb the ear for added comfort. 
2. For split earlobes, the expert aligns the edges of the tear and removes any damaged part. 
3. For oversized lobes, excess tissue is excised for a proportionate shape
4. In case of trauma, the expert uses grafting techniques to restore the structure. 
5. After all the necessary adjustments, incisions are closed using fine sutures that minimise scarring. 
6. A few follow-up appointments are scheduled to remove stitches and monitor the progress. 

Dos and Don’ts after earlobe repair:

Recovery

Day 1: There will be pain, throbbing, or pulling sensations, but they will gradually fade off. Small dressings will be applied to the incisions, so keep them dry.

Day 3: Swelling will be at peak during the first three days and then suddenly start to resolve. Sleep on your back and avoid touching your treated area. 

Week 1: There will be a significant reduction in swelling, and the area will be partially healed. You can resume light activities and bathing, but take care of your incision sites. 

Week 3: You will recover completely after this time, but the scars will continue to fade. Ask your surgeon if you can wear earrings or get a piercing again.
