Expert Split Earlobe Repair in London

Earlobe damage can occur gradually or suddenly. Some of the most common causes include:

• Heavy Earrings Prolonged wear of large or heavy earrings can stretch the piercing hole until it tears.
• Trauma or Injury Accidental pulls (like a child tugging on earrings) or snagging on clothing.
• Multiple Piercings Piercings placed too close together or too close to the bottom of the earlobe weaken the tissue.
• Stretched Piercings Intentional stretching with plugs or gauges that go beyond the earlobe’s natural elasticity.

Whatever the cause, our surgeons provide tailored repair to restore both the look and strength of your earlobes.

A small issue. A big impact on your confidence.

Whether caused by years of heavy earrings, a sudden pull, or gradually stretched piercings, torn earlobes can leave you feeling self-conscious and unsure if there’s a fix.

The good news? Split earlobe repair is a simple, highly effective procedure that restores the natural contour of your ears, often in under an hour.

You may be a good candidate if:

• You have a fully torn or partially stretched earlobe from trauma or jewellery
• Your earring hole has elongated over time
• You want to wear earrings again — safely and comfortably
• You’ve had a gauged piercing that hasn’t returned to shape
• You’re looking for a quick, low-risk procedure with lasting results

1. Consultation – Personalised Assessment

Your journey begins with a private consultation with one of our GMC-registered plastic surgeons. We’ll examine your earlobe, discuss your goals (whether functional or cosmetic), and explain your treatment options.

2. Planning – Tailored Surgical Approach

Every earlobe is unique. Your surgeon will create a personalised repair plan, whether it involves closing a stretched piercing hole, repairing a full split, or reshaping the lobe for symmetry.

3. In-Clinic Procedure – Precise, Safe Repair

The procedure is carried out in our CQC-registered clinic under local anaesthetic. Using fine surgical techniques, your earlobe is carefully reconstructed to restore its natural contour. The treatment usually takes less than an hour, with minimal discomfort.

4. Recovery & Aftercare – Long-Lasting Results

You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress, and in many cases, you can safely re-pierce your ears after full healing.
