EARLOBE RECONSTRUCTION

Clínica Aurora Reig Valencia

The use of heavy earrings and expanders over time tears and droops the earlobe.

Lobe reconstruction is a minimally invasive and highly effective surgery that involves removing the skin fragment that forms the walls of the hole from the inside, and then sealing them again with minimal sutures, on the front and back of the lobe. These are removed after one week.

It is performed on an outpatient basis, in 30 minutes, with local anesthesia. A new hole can be made after a month, although it is recommended to do it a few millimeters away from the original hole.

What does Lobe Reconstruction Consist of?

Clínica Aurora Reig Valencia

Lobe reconstruction is carried out to correct damages such as tears caused by wearing overly heavy earrings or poorly cared-for piercings. The procedure involves reconstructing and reshaping the earlobe to restore its original aesthetics or even improve its shape. In some cases, it may be necessary to create a new piercing to place earrings after the reconstruction.

Dr. Aurora Reig, with solid experience in esthetic surgery and a member of the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Esthetic Surgery (SECPRE), guarantees maximum safety in every intervention. The goal of lobe reconstruction is to correct both tears and deformities.
