Earlobe concerns usually follow a pulled earring, years of heavy earrings, gauges or an injury. Dr. Leonard Grossman, trained in microsurgery and in burns and reconstruction, looks first at how much healthy lobe tissue remains and whether you plan to wear earrings again, because that shapes the repair. Earlobe repair is outpatient and easy to recover from: it is commonly done under local anesthesia, and you go home the same day. Most patients resume daily activities within a few days to a week, while the fine-suture scar and final result settle over several weeks.
