Split Earlobe Repair in Leamington Spa

Private Split Earlobe and Stretched Lobe Repair
A split earlobe happens when a piercing hole tears through the earlobe, usually after an earring catches or is pulled, or gradually over time from wearing heavy earrings. Some patients instead have a stretched or gauged lobe that has become larger than they would like. Both are corrected with a straightforward earlobe repair procedure performed under local anaesthetic.
At Renew Skin and Health Clinic in Leamington Spa, earlobe repair is performed by an experienced general or plastic surgeon based on availability. All prices at Renew Skin and Health Clinic are transparent and all inclusive, with appointments available within two weeks, a free follow up review, and every procedure performed by an experienced doctor.

Split Earlobe Repair, What the Procedure Involves
Local anaesthetic is injected into the earlobe to numb the area fully before anything else begins. Your surgeon then removes a thin layer of skin from the edges of the tear or enlarged piercing hole, so that when the fresh edges are aligned they heal cleanly rather than simply closing over the old scarred tissue. The earlobe is then stitched back together using fine sutures, and a small dressing may be applied. The procedure typically takes between 20 and 45 minutes per earlobe.
Stretched or Gauged Lobe Repair
If your earlobe has become stretched or gauged over time rather than torn, the same underlying earlobe reduction approach applies. The excess stretched tissue is carefully removed, the remaining edges are aligned, and the lobe is stitched to restore a natural shape and size.
Recovery After Earlobe Repair

- Mild swelling and tenderness for a few days
- Stitches are usually removed after 5 to 14 days, depending on the type used
- Most people return to normal activities the same day
- The scar usually fades significantly over several months
Re Piercing After Earlobe Repair
Most surgeons recommend waiting 6 to 12 weeks, sometimes longer, before re piercing the ear. The new piercing is usually placed slightly away from the original scar line, to give the repaired area the best chance of healing strongly.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What causes a split earlobe?
A split earlobe is usually caused by an earring catching and tearing the piercing hole, or by gradual widening from heavy earrings worn over time.
2. Can a torn earlobe be fixed without surgery?
A very minor tear may settle on its own, but a fully split or significantly stretched earlobe does not reliably heal into a neat shape without a stitch repair procedure.
3. Is earlobe repair painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should feel pressure rather than pain during treatment. Mild tenderness afterwards is normal.
4. How long does earlobe repair take?
The procedure typically takes between 20 and 45 minutes per earlobe.
5. How much does split earlobe repair cost?
Pricing depends on whether the split is partial or complete, or whether the lobe is stretched or gauged. At Renew Clinic, prices range from £595 to £950 for one ear, with both ears priced at around 10 to 15% less than double the single ear price.
6. When can stitches be removed after earlobe repair?
Stitches are usually removed after 5 to 14 days, depending on the type used.
7. Will there be a visible scar after earlobe repair?
A fine scar line is normal initially but usually fades significantly over several months.
8. When can I get my ear re pierced after repair?
Most surgeons recommend waiting 6 to 12 weeks, sometimes longer, with the new piercing placed slightly away from the original scar line.
9. Who will perform my earlobe repair?
