Louisville Split Ear Lobe Repair Surgeon – Dr. Corbett
Louisville Split Ear Lobe Repair Surgeon – Dr. CorbettAs a premier Louisville plastic surgeon, Dr. Corbett performs a range of corrective procedures, including split/torn earlobes. Torn earlobes are caused by trauma, often due to heavy earrings that women love to wear. Gauged earlobes can also be repaired for those desiring correction. Earlobes are made of very soft skin and a small amount of fatty tissue and can be very sensitive. Thus, men can also split their earlobes during physical or other types of activities.
GOALS OF SURGERY
The goal of split ear lobe surgery is to correct the torn / gauged earlobe and restore normal function and appearance. Although, the procedure may result in mild scarring, most patients are able to continue wearing their jewelry after the earlobe has healed completely. This procedure is not intended to correct protruding ears, but can be combined with otoplasty; lip enhancement and/or injectable wrinkle fillers on patients who wish to undergo additional cosmetic enhancements.
