Ear Job, Lobe Lift, Lobe job, Earlobe Reduction

Rejuvenating an earlobe has gained popularity with the baby boomers as of late. Wearing long or heavy earrings over the ears in addition to the loss of collagen, fat, and elasticity (that is also lost everywhere in the body) causes the earlobes to become long, thin, and hanging. This looks abnormal and disharmonious when combined with a faceliftor other rejuvenating facial plastic surgery.

Earlobe reduction, aka ear job, lobe job, lobe lift, can be easily performed in the office under local anesthesia. The earlobe is reduced in size and sewn back up along the lower border of the lobe. The scar is not noticeable and the ear can typically be repressed in a higher position 6-8 weeks later.
