Split Earlobe Reconstruction
Restore Symmetry and Confidence with Split Earlobe Reconstruction
Split earlobes are a common concern, often resulting from heavy earrings, accidental pulling, or gradual stretching over time. Split Earlobe Reconstruction is a precise surgical procedure that restores the natural form and contour of the ear. The goal is to achieve a discreet, balanced result that blends seamlessly with the surrounding skin.
Candidate Suitability
Patients may be suitable for this procedure if they experience:
- A complete or partial tear of the earlobe from trauma or jewellery use
- Stretched or elongated piercing holes following years of wearing heavy earrings
- Irregular earlobe shape caused by previous injury or piercing
- The desire to re-pierce the ears once healing is complete, in a natural and symmetrical position
Each case is unique, and the suitability of the procedure is determined following an individual evaluation and discussion with the surgeon.
Procedure Options and Techniques
Split earlobe repair is performed under local anaesthetic and typically lasts about an hour. The approach depends on the nature and extent of the tear:
- Primary Repair: For simple splits, the edges of the tear are refreshed and carefully sutured to restore the natural shape.
- Wedge or Flap Technique: For longer or irregular tears, small tissue adjustments may be used to achieve smooth contouring and prevent notching.
Recovery and Aftercare
Healing after earlobe reconstruction is usually smooth and straightforward:
- The area is usually covered with a light dressing on the day of surgery
- Mild swelling or redness may appear for a few days but tends to settle quickly
- Stitches are removed or dissolve naturally, depending on the technique used
- Patients can return to work and daily activities soon after the procedure
- Re-piercing can typically be considered once healing has fully matured
Results are visible immediately and refined further over the following weeks, leaving the ear in a natural shape that fits comfortably into a patient’s daily life.

Dr. Evita is the most unbelievably caring surgeon. She takes time to discuss your needs and is so approachable. When I had a breast lift, she held my hand every step of the way. I highly recommend her and would not entertain anyone else. She always returns your messages directly, not through a third party.. Which, to me is everything.. 5 star 💫

Very good surgeon! You come out of the surgery, they take off your gauze and you see your incisions so thin you can’t believe it. The pain is really minimal. The creams she advises you to take and the way you should put them on the incisions help a lot so that after a year they are not noticeable. As far as Botox, she was the only doctor I went to that told me right away about the stuff she uses. I have never seen a more natural result!

I have only good things to say about Ms. Askouni!!! She approached my problem in detail, explained to me in detail the procedure that follows, which made me feel safe and confident. She was talkative and willing to solve any question or hesitation I had. Also, the most important thing is that after the surgery she called me to find out how I was and every week we had contact either by phone or in her office. She is an excellent, kind and friendly doctor. Ms. Magda is also very kind. Always with a smile!!!
