If you have a split earlobe, whether as a result of genetics or from wearing heavy jewelry or spacers, it can understandably be rather upsetting. You may feel quite conscious about it, which can be damaging to your self-confidence. You might no longer be able to wear earrings. It is common for those with a split earlobe to style their hair differently so as to conceal their ears. Split Earlobe Repair can be the solution you need to restore your self-esteem, enrich your sense of wellbeing and improve the appearance of your ears.

Also, if you have noticed your earlobe piercings stretching, or that your earlobes are drooping or hanging, it may be a good idea to consider Split Earlobe Repair before the issue worsens.

Split Earlobe Repair is quick, and usually only takes up to an hour to perform. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, meaning that you will be awake, but the area will be numbed so that you feel no pain. Split Earlobe Repair can be performed on one or both ears at the same time. The procedure involves making incisions to the earlobe in order to reconstruct the soft tissue. Excess of damaged skin is cut away, resulting in a more attractive-looking ear. After the procedure, dissolvable sutures are used to close any incisions made.

During your first appointment at our clinic, Mr Ammar Allouni will clarify all your questions regarding the procedure. He will recommend surgery only if it is the best option for you. You will also be encouraged to clarify any doubts regarding the recovery period, post-surgical care and the expected outcomes.

He will take your detailed medical history and conduct relevant clinical assessments, which might be followed by a 3D projection of the expected result – if surgery is indicated in your case. Additionally, he will inform you of the potential risks and complications of the surgery. 

Some of your medications might require adjustments prior to the surgery or additional drugs may be prescribed. You will be asked to discontinue drugs like aspirin and herbal medications (if any) for a few days before and after the procedure. 

Mr Ammar Allouni will also inform you about certain precautions to be taken before and after surgery. He will instruct you to quit smoking and to avoid consuming alcohol and recreational drugs for a few days before and after the surgery.

• Pre-Surgical Care: After your full body assessment and before your surgery day you get the list of precautionary measures – what all you should avoid and what all you should do for the best results.

• Day of Surgery: Mr Allouni follows the BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons) guidelines for all cosmetic procedures. On the day of surgery, your health status will be reassessed thoroughly and a qualified nurse will prepare you for the procedure. Mr Ammar Allouni and his team will ensure your well-being and comfort throughout the procedure.

• Post-Surgical Care: Mr Allouni and his team will be at your side while you are recovering. Once you are ready to go home you will be receiving a proper guideline of dos and don’ts that you need to follow and instructions on how often you need to be in touch with your surgeon to share your recovery status.

• Follow up Stage – FREE: You will be provided with a schedule about your follow up appointments. All your follow-ups with your surgeon will be completely free.

• Personalised Care: Once you have gone through your surgery, you can always directly contact with Mr Ammar Allouni and his team in case you face any issue or concern in future.

After your Split Earlobe Repair procedure, you can go home straight away and return to work and your regular activities as normal. You may feel mild soreness or discomfort for a few days afterwards, but this will not be anything that over-the-counter painkillers cannot help manage. Additionally, there may be a small amount of bruising or swelling for up to a few weeks. Scarring is minimal and unnoticeable. You may get your ear re-pierced after 6 to 8 weeks.

Split Earlobe Repair will result in a restored and more aesthetically pleasing ear, to help you regain your confidence and improve your self-image. The results are permanent. Although the risks are minimal, there is still an unlikely potential for infection, notching or temporary side effects from the local anaesthetic.
