Split ear lobe repair is a safe, minor procedure that restores the natural shape and appearance of the ear. Our Hamilton and Stoney Creek skin clinic provides gentle, precise care to help you feel confident wearing earrings again.
A split earlobe often occurs from trauma, heavy earrings, or gradual stretching of a piercing over time. The result can be a partial tear, a widened piercing hole, or a complete split of the earlobe. While not harmful, it can make wearing earrings difficult and may cause cosmetic concerns.
At Skinnova, we offer safe and effective split earlobe repair performed by experienced specialists. The procedure is done under local anesthesia and involves carefully suturing the torn area to restore the natural shape of the earlobe. Our goal is to provide a natural-looking result with minimal scarring, allowing you to re-pierce your ears once the area has fully healed.
