Split Earlobe Repair

A torn, stretched or split earlobe earlobe can happen suddenly or gradually over time.

Have no fear though, as split earlobe repair is an easier process than you think!

What to Do About a Split Earlobe: Start With Assessment

Is it a minor tear or something that needs medical repair?

Small nicks or partial tears might respond to home care, like gentle cleaning and Steri-Strips to hold the skin together. 

But if the lobe is completely torn or the skin is too stretched to heal naturally, you’ll likely need a simple outpatient procedure to restore it.

The right expert will have your earlobe feeling as good as new in hardly any time at all.

Can a Split Earlobe Be Fixed?

Yes, and often with minimal downtime. Here’s what the process typically looks like:

• Consultation first: A professional will examine the damage and determine a treatment plan.
• In-office repair: With local anesthesia, the area is numbed, and the edges are carefully sutured together.
• Healing time: Stitches typically stay in place for a week, with full healing in four to six weeks.
• Future piercing: Many patients can safely re-pierce once the tissue has healed.

Understanding what to do about a split earlobe starts with knowing when professional care is the safest and most effective option.
