What the procedure involves.
Ear lobe repair surgery corrects torn, stretched, or damaged earlobes caused by heavy earrings, trauma, or gauging. Chinese plastic surgeons perform this common outpatient procedure using precise tissue rearrangement techniques to restore natural ear lobe shape. The procedure is quick, affordable, and allows re-piercing after full healing.
