This lady suffered from a lacerated right earlobe caused by wearing heavy earrings.
This is a very common problem. Insurance will sometimes pay for this repair, but it is
often considered cosmetic. This view shows the full extend of the injury with the lobe
spread apart.

This is the post operative view only five weeks after the surgery. The wound was already very faint
and will become virtually invisible over a period of 10-12 months. This repair takes about half an
hour and is performed in the office. The ear can be re-pierced about a month after the procedure.
