Earlobe repair is commonly done for torn earlobes, stretched earlobes or gauged earlobes. If there are other concerns with the ear such as the shape or how much it sticks out, you may need a formal otoplasty or ear shaping. Earlobe repair is a relatively simple office procedure that can be accomplished under local anesthesia with no downtime.
