Earlobe closing in Turkey
The earlobes are anatomical structures that are part of the outer ear and are made of skin and fatty tissue. The lobes can be more or less completely ruptured due to tears or the prolonged or continuous use of dangling earrings.
In some cases, the earring hole may become embarrassingly long and may even open completely. This aesthetic defect can affect one or both lobes.
Earlobe closing is one of the various operations aimed at improving the contour, shape, or size of the ears. If the earring hole cracks or tears, it can easily be repaired with this cosmetic surgery. Elongated holes of any size can also be surgically fixed.
A simple earlobe reduction takes 10 minutes for each ear, while elongated lobes (graded lobes) take about 20 minutes per ear.
Indications for earring hole repair
Earring hole repair is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure performed by plastic surgeons or dermatologists in Turkey.
Before proceeding with earlobe reconstruction, the patient must:
- Have a preoperative medical consultation.
- Perform a medical examination: check for chronic disease and the use of certain medications...
- Perform a blood test.
- Stop taking any medication that affects blood coagulation, of course, after receiving specialized medical advice.
Earring hole repair process
Earlobe reconstruction is performed in the operating room, in a sterile environment, under local anesthesia. It does not require an overnight stay in a hospital or clinic.
Before the surgery, the area is disinfected and marked for the incision. The earlobe is numbed with a local anesthetic to ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
To repair a torn earlobe, the surgeon will make an incision in each earlobe. The surgeon then removes the damaged tissue around each earlobe hole.
The tear in the earlobe may be incomplete and not reach the back of the ear. In this case, the doctor will cut away the oval shape and sew it back together. If the tear is in the lower part of the earlobe, your surgeon may extend the tear all the way across the ear and cut away the skin.
He or she will then heal the incisions with surgical stitches, which will be removed one to two weeks later.
If necessary, earlobe reconstruction may be combined with otoplasty (ear shape correction) or eardrum repair.
Post-procedure care for earring hole repair
You've just taken a significant step towards enhancing your appearance. The results of your earlobe repair are immediate.
The healing process is straightforward and comfortable:
- Pain: You may experience a mild tugging sensation, rather than intense pain. Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol can help manage any discomfort.
- Healing: Tiny sutures will be removed during a follow-up appointment approximately 10 days after the procedure. The resulting scar is very fine and naturally blends into the fold of your earlobe.
- Swelling: Some minimal swelling may occur in the first 24 hours, but this typically subsides quickly.
- Care: No special care is needed. You can continue your normal routine, including washing your hair.
A follow-up appointment is scheduled one week after surgery to monitor your healing progress and remove any sutures. If you also underwent a procedure to correct protruding ears, the scars will be carefully concealed behind your ears.

Ear hole repair surgery : Results & risks
Ear hole repair surgery offers excellent results with discreet scars that fade quickly. Although complications are rare, risks include bleeding, infection, and scarring problems. Strict hygiene and following your doctor's instructions are essential for optimal recovery.
Once healing is complete (usually after a few months),you can consider having your ears pierced again. It's a good idea to choose an experienced piercer who can guide you and make sure the new piercing is in a healthy area.
Don't hesitate to ask your piercer any questions you may have about this procedure.

After earlobe surgery, healing can take up to 5 months. For ear cartilage surgery, healing can take up to 12 months.
Throughout the postoperative period, you will notice the following signs in the ear hole:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Drainage of lymph in the form of crusts
- edema
Once the healing is complete, you will notice a return of your ear's skin to its normal state and a resumption of its flexibility.
Surgery for melted or torn lobes in Turkey is indicated in the following cases :
- Lobes that are too long (due to wearing heavy curls)
- Enlarged ears due to stretchers
- Lengthening of the lobes due to aging
We recommend that you get a piercing a minimum of six months after the ear hole repair, however, it is important to make sure that the scars are well blurred so as not to cause the thread to split.
Before undergoing earlobe surgery, it is strongly recommended to stop smoking for 6 to 8 weeks of the operation to avoid any risk of complication and any postoperative follow-up. Smoking impedes proper healing, so it should be avoided even for a few weeks after the repair procedure.
