Los Angeles Earlobe Reduction Surgery | West Hollywood Earlobe Reshaping

BEFORE & AFTER

EAR PINNING SURGERY

Ear pinning surgery has the goal of making ears less prominent and noticeable. The surgery itself is relatively simple. The ears are “pinned back,” then sutured in place, leaving them much less prominent and closer to the sides of the head. Such procedures help bring balance and proportion to the face and ears and can help prevent traumatic teasing and low self-esteem in young patients.

Earlobe reduction is typically performed to improve the following issues:

EARLOBE REDUCTION SURGERY PROCEDURE

Earlobe reduction surgery is a relatively straightforward cosmetic procedure with varying degrees of complexity, as the extent of the alterations will largely depend on the patient’s specific issue. Knowing that each patient’s case is different, Dr. Sedgh uses different approaches and techniques, uniquely tailored to your particular needs to produce symmetrical, natural-looking results with very minimal scarring.

As an outpatient procedure, earlobe reduction is performed in Dr. Sedgh’s office under local anesthetic. Once the area is numbed, Dr. Sedgh will begin by carefully making an incision, sometimes with laser assistance, along the bottom edge of the earlobe. This incision will allow him to remove extra tissue and recontour the earlobe to the desired shape. If you have a wide lobe, the doctor will make a wedge-shaped incision to create a thin, vertical cut to narrow and shorten the lobe.

After both ears have been reshaped, Dr. Sedgh will then close the incisions, taking special care to place them strategically reduce any visible scarring.

Unless performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures, a typical earlobe operation will last for about 30 minutes to an hour, with an average of 15 to 30 minutes per ear.

RECOVERY

Bandages are typically not needed after an earlobe reduction, but in some cases, Dr. Sedgh may place loose bandages around the ears to protect them during the first 24 to 48 hours post-surgery. You may experience minor discomfort, swelling, or bruising following the procedure, but these can be easily managed with the prescribed pain medications and by adhering to all aftercare instructions.

In some cases, the surgery entails removing tissue, and no piercing holes are left in the ears. Dr. Sedgh will advise you to wait three months before re-piercing them to give your ears enough time to heal. The first week is the most critical period of the post-op stage, so you can expect Dr. Sedgh to personally monitor your healing progress. He will then continue to evaluate you through several post-op appointments in the next few months up to a year to ensure a safe and comfortable recovery.
