For some men and women, the appearance of their earlobes can cause unhappiness and insecurity. Stretched, torn or split earlobes may cause a person to feel self-conscious and this may have a negative impact on their mental health.
The presence of stretched, torn or split earlobes may also lead to a person being unfairly judged on their appearance, in extreme cases impacting upon work and romantic prospects.
Stretched, torn or split earlobes can affect a person’s facial symmetry and have a negative impact on facial proportions.
Ear lobe repair surgery is also suitable for people who have excessively small or large earlobes due to genetics, those who have earlobes that have sagged or dropped due to age or have keloids or prominent scars visible on the lobe or lobes.
Ear lobe repair surgery is suitable for patients aged 18 and over.
