Why Earlobe Reconstruction?
Flesh tunnels, flesh plugs and other heavy gauge jewellery can stretch the earlobes beyond the skin’s natural capacity to shrink back. Generally, a hole more than 10mm in diameter will remain stretched, but this will vary depending on how quickly the hole was stretched and a person’s natural skin elasticity. Many patients find the remaining hole unsightly and wish to recreate their original earlobe shape.
What are my treatment options for Stretched Earlobe Reconstruction?
Stretched earlobe reconstruction is a surgical procedure carried out in our Minor Operations Suite (MOPS). The procedure involves the removal of the earlobe’s excess skin and the reconnection of the tissue. A anaesthetic injection will minimise any discomfort you might feel. We are able to reconstruct either one or both earlobes during a single procedure. The length of time to reconstruct one earlobe is approximately 45 minutes and for both earlobes, just over an hour. The cost of the procedure is £675 for one earlobe reconstruction procedure and £975 for both earlobes during the same procedure.

Who carries out this procedure
What is the process for Stretched Earlobe Reconstruction?
Before we can book in for this procedure, you will need to be assessed by either a Nurse or via our Online Consultation Form.
Once a consultation has been completed and you have been medically approved, an appointment date will be made for the procedure. Please note that a 50% deposit will need to be paid prior to the appointment being made.
On the day of the procedure your Surgeon will assess you again prior to the treatment. Once the reconstruction is complete you are invited to recover in a private room if required and a review appointment will be made for 1-2 weeks later with one of our Nurses to assess the healing and to remove your sutures. There is no cost for the review with the Nurse; if there is subsequent need for a review with the Surgeon this would also carry no cost.
