Procedures

Earlobe surgery, also known as earlobe repair or otoplasty, is a popular procedure that many people are considering to improve the appearance of their ears. This surgical procedure is used to reshape or repair and treat stretched lobes, sagging skin, unevenly shaped ears, and torn earlobes.

Earlobe surgery can be done on both adults and children who want to correct the structure of their ears. Dr. Ahmadi is an experienced plastic surgeon and can help you decide how best to improve the appearance of your ears. He will use advanced techniques that result in minimal scarring and rapid healing, leaving you with beautiful earlobes that make you proud.

Types of Earlobe Surgery

Earlobe Repair

Earlobe repair is used to treat stretched, torn, or damaged earlobes. During the procedure, Dr. Ahmadi will reshape and reduce the size of your lobes so that they look more natural and symmetrical. He may also use stitches to close up any tears in the earlobe. After the surgery is complete, you will be able to wear earrings without any problems.

Earlobe Reconstruction

Earlobe reconstruction is used to recreate an earlobe that has been completely torn away or severely damaged. During the procedure, Dr. Ahmadi will use advanced surgical techniques to create a new lobe and reconstruct the contours of the ear. He will use skin from other parts of your body to help restore the shape of your earlobe, and may also use tissue grafts or implants to achieve a natural-looking result.

Earlobe Reduction

Earlobe reduction is a similar procedure to earlobe repair but with slightly different goals. This procedure reshapes the size and shape of your earlobes by removing excess fat or tissue. After the procedure, you will see a more defined earlobe shape that looks aesthetically pleasing and natural. Like with earlobe repair, the procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and results in minimal scarring.

Benefits

Earlobe surgery in Houston can provide many benefits, including: 

  • Aesthetic enhancement of your overall appearance 
  • Improved earlobe shape and size 
  • Increased self-confidence 
  • Reduced sagging of the skin 
  • Re-piercing the lobes in a new location or adding additional piercings when needed

Ideal Candidate

The best candidates for a Houston Earlobe Surgery are those who have torn or stretched earlobes, sagging skin, unevenly shaped lobes, or need re-piercings in a new location. If you’re looking to improve the overall aesthetics of your ears and achieve beautiful results then this procedure may be right for you.

First Steps

The first step in getting earlobe surgery is to meet with Dr. Ahmadi for a consultation at his office in Houston, Texas. During the visit, he will assess your situation and discuss any potential risks or side effects that could occur during the procedure. He will also explain the details of the surgery and answer any questions you may have, then carefully assess the shape, size, and symmetry of your ears before beginning the treatment plan that is tailored to meet your specific needs. After the consultation, you can then decide if earlobe surgery is the best option for you and your desired results.

Expectations

On the day of your earlobe surgery, you will be given a local anesthetic to make sure you are comfortable during the procedure. Dr. Ahmadi will then make small incisions in the earlobes to remove excess fat and tissue, re-pierce the lobes if needed, or reconstruct them based on your desired look.

The length of the surgery will depend on the type of procedure being done, but the entire procedure typically takes about 30 minutes. After the procedure is complete, you may be given antibiotics or other medications to help reduce swelling and prevent infection.

Recovery

After your procedure is complete, you will be taken into a recovery room and monitored until you are comfortable enough to go home. At this point, it is important to keep the surgical site clean and dry, avoiding any water or sweat that could potentially cause infection. You should also avoid wearing heavy jewelry, pulling on the lobes, or applying makeup near the incision sites. 

It is very important to listen to your body and give yourself the time you need for recovery. Take it easy and don’t try to do too much too soon, as this can cause more harm in the long run. Minor discomfort is normal during this period but should subside with time. Swelling, bruising, and slight bleeding are normal during the recovery process and should gradually go away over time. You should make sure to follow Dr. Ahmadi’s instructions regarding any medications that he has prescribed you and use cold compresses to reduce swelling if necessary. 

Dr. Ahmadi will provide specific instructions to follow during your recovery and can answer any additional questions you may have. With proper care, you should be back to your normal activities within a few weeks and enjoying the results of beautiful earlobes! The process of recovering from earlobe surgery can vary for each patient, but it is typically very easy and can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks.

The cost of Earlobe Surgery in Houston, TX can vary depending on the type and complexity of the procedure being done.
