​

Understanding the Earlobe and Common Issues

​

The earlobe, composed of skin and fat, lacks the cartilage found in other parts of the ear, making it more susceptible to damage. Many cultures value earlobe piercings for adorning jewelry, but this practice can lead to issues such as:

​

• Incomplete Clefts: Commonly seen in elderly individuals who have worn heavy earrings for years.

• Full Clefts: Typically caused by sudden trauma, such as accidental pulling of earrings.

​

Types of Earlobe Tears

​

Earlobe tears can be classified into:

• Incomplete Tears: Extending partially between the original piercing and the lower border of the earlobe.

• Complete Tears: Extending fully, creating a split in the earlobe.

​

The Earlobe Repair Procedure

​

At Relentcare ENT Centre, earlobe repair is a safe and minimally invasive day-care procedure performed under local anesthesia. The steps include:

1. Evaluation: A thorough assessment of the earlobe condition.

2. Surgical Repair: Sutures are used to close the tear after excising the skin lining the tear for a clean finish.

3. Follow-Up Care: Sutures are removed after a week, and recovery progress is monitored during follow-up visits.

The procedure typically takes about an hour, and patients can resume most daily activities shortly after.

​

Recovery and Aftercare

​

Post-surgery, it is essential to:

• Keep the surgical site clean and elevated.

• Use prescribed medications to manage any discomfort.

• Attend regular follow-up appointments to ensure optimal healing.

Complications are rare but may include keloids, pigmentation changes, or minor pain, all of which are effectively managed with appropriate care.
