Can we reduce a hole in the ear with otoplasty?

Many people hold hostage a stretched or torn earlobe, an unfortunate legacy from heavy earrings, accidental pulls, or gauges. If you’ve ever wondered, can we reduce a hole in the ear with otoplasty? The solution is a confident yes. At Royal Cosmetic Surgery Clinic Islamabad, we focus on specific ear reshaping techniques that repair the natural form and features.

What Is Earlobe Repair Otoplasty?

Otoplasty isn’t only for prominent ears. It also consists of earlobe repair, which reduces or closes undesirable holes and restores symmetry. This process gets rid of damaged tissue and reshapes the earlobe using great incisions and layered suturing, all under local anesthesia.

Who Needs Earlobe Hole Reduction?

Common causes prompting repair include:

  • Large-gauge piercings or tunnels
  • Torn lobes because of heavy earrings or trauma
  • Naturally elongated or drooping lobes

Whatever the cause, otoplasty gives a safe, powerful, and minimally invasive repair.

How Does the Procedure Work?

Earlobe repair is a simple and quick treatment, generally finished in 20–60 minutes, consistent with the ear, guided by Dr. Naveed Azhar:

  • Local anesthetic numbs the area
  • Excision removes stretched or scar tissue
  • Layered suturing rebuilds the herbal lobe shape
  • An optional re-piercing is scheduled 3 months later to permit complete restoration.

Benefits Beyond Fixing the Hole

Diameter & Contour Restoration

The process restores earlobe size and returns the natural curvature.

Minimal Scarring

Scars are thin and discreet, hidden along the fold for a close-to-invisible result.

Improved Symmetry

Both ears can be treated collectively to appearance uniformity, supporting face stability.

Self-Esteem Boost

Patients regularly feel renewed self-belief in wearing rings and feeling snug in selfies.

What to Expect During Recovery
