What Is Earlobe Reduction?

Earlobe reduction is a minor surgical procedure that reshapes and resizes the earlobes by removing excess tissue. It is commonly used to treat earlobes that have stretched from aging, gauges, heavy earrings, or trauma. Patients may also combine it with earlobe repair to fix torn or enlarged piercings.

Who Is a Candidate for Earlobe Surgery?

You may be a good candidate if:

• Your earlobes appear large, stretched, or saggy
• You’ve worn heavy earrings or gauges
• You have torn or misshapen lobes
• You’re in good health and have clear goals

Non-smokers with realistic expectations tend to experience the best results.

How the Procedure Works

The procedure is performed in-office using local anesthesia and usually takes 30-45 minutes. Dr. Mofid carefully removes excess tissue, reshapes the lobe, and closes the incision with fine sutures. Scar placement is planned to remain discreet.

For a more complete facial enhancement, earlobe reduction can also be performed alongside other treatments, such as Otoplasty (Ear Surgery) or Neck Liposuction.

Recovery and Results

Here’s what to expect after surgery:

• Day 1–2: Mild swelling or soreness
• One week: Stitches are removed
• One to two weeks: Most patients resume regular activity

Scars fade with time and are placed in natural skin creases. Final results typically appear within a few weeks, revealing a cleaner, more refined earlobe shape.
