Earlobe Reduction/Repair Newark

usually not covered under insurance unless earlobe laceration/”tear” is repaired within 24 hours of the injury
office based procedure under local anesthesia, less than 20 minutes
immediate repiercing can be performed but needs to be discussed at time of the initial consult
if immediate re piercing to be performed, bring in a pair of 18 K gold small, light stud earrings
both earlobes will be evaluated for symmetry and sometimes the other earlobe may need to be addressed at the same time
suture removal at 10 days and earring cannot be changed for for least 6 weeks
recommended avoid future use of heavier earrings

as we “age”, the earlobes can also be subjected to the aging process of loss of collagen and elastin support with the result of larger, sagging earlobes with some volume loss
earlobe reduction can be performed safely and predictably in the office under local anesthesia
meticulous surgical markings placed to design a smaller, natural and more youthful earlobe that eventually could be pierced for future earrings; would wait minimum 6 weeks for piercing with light earrings

as we “age”, the earlobes can be subjected to some volume loss as a result of breakdown of collagen and elastin support resulting in “deflated earlobes”
this type of earlobe deformity can be improved with a small amount of dermal filler injection such as Restylane or Juvederm
the dermal fillers are compatible with earring usage
