At Advanced Skin Doctors, we offer simple, effective ear lobe repair surgery in Melbourne for stretched, torn, or damaged ear lobes. Whether it’s from years of wearing heavy earrings, accidental tearing, or gauging, our experienced team is here to help you restore your natural appearance—and your confidence.
What Is Ear Lobe Repair?
Ear lobe repair is a minor surgical procedure that restores the shape of your ear lobe when it’s been stretched, torn, or split. These kinds of injuries are often caused by earrings, accidental pulls, or body modifications like gauges.
The procedure is quick and done under local anaesthetic right here in our clinic. Our aim is to get you back to feeling good about your appearance—with as little fuss as possible.

When Should You Consider Ear Lobe Repair?
Even a small tear or stretch can have an impact on how you feel. You might want to consider ear lobe repair if:
- Your ear lobe has stretched, torn, or split due to earrings or gauges
- You feel self-conscious about the way it looks
- You’ve stopped wearing earrings because they don’t sit right anymore
- You’re getting ready for an event, interview, or simply want to feel like your best self again
If you’re also dealing with other skin concerns like small lumps or blemishes, we can help with those too. Our team offers gentle, professional cyst removal, skin tag removal, wart removal, and can assess everything in one appointment if needed.
Ear Lobe Repair Surgery: What to Expect
The procedure is straightforward, safe, and performed in our clinic under local anaesthetic. You’ll be awake, but the area will be completely numb, so you won’t feel anything during the treatment. Here’s how it works:
- We gently numb the area to keep you comfortable
- The torn or stretched edges of the ear lobe are carefully trimmed and stitched back together
- The whole process usually takes under an hour
- Stitches are removed after 5 to 7 days
- Most patients are back to normal activities that same day
You may have some mild swelling or tenderness, but this typically settles quickly. Scarring is usually minimal, and with proper care, the area heals beautifully.
