Cracked And Torn Ear Lobe: 3 Ways to Repair It
A torn earlobe can be painful but is treatable. You can preserve your earlobe by knowing how to care for it during an emergency. If you receive proper care, it will recover fully.
Split-earlobe or a piercing hole can widen for various reasons. Acute trauma can split the earlobes, which can occur when an earring is pulled through the piercing hole, for example, when an enthusiastic dog greets its owner or when a small child pulls them through the piercing hole. Pulling the clothes on and off the head repeatedly while wearing earrings could injure the ear lobe.
To restore your earlobe’s form and function, you’ll need to seek medical care if your earlobe is severely stretched or split. The stretching or splitting of earlobes caused by earrings is not an emergency, but you should consult an experienced plastic surgeon. A surgical procedure must correct a split earlobe, widen the piercing hole, or a stretched piercing. Some healthcare providers who perform these procedures are facial plastic surgeons, ENT physicians, and dermatologic surgeons.
Given below are ways to repair torn earlobe.
Surgery
In ear lobe reconstruction or repair, a split (partial or complete) ear lobe can be stitched back to its original shape. In this case, no sedation is necessary (a local anaesthetic can be used instead), and the procedure can be performed in under an hour, so please don’t be deterred by having surgery. The procedure will be minimally invasive and completely numb your ears to ensure comfort.
During earlobe reconstruction, each earlobe is incised, and damaged tissue is removed. Sutures generally close incisions after removing tissue around the earring hole. An earring hole that is gaping or split is closed by removing damaged tissue, resulting in shorter earlobes.
Aside from earlobe repair surgery, earlobe replacement surgery can be used to restore an earlobe shape lost due to sudden trauma, ageing, or gauging.
Derma Fillers
In addition to increasing tissue volume and stimulating the production of new collagen, fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane rejuvenate the earlobes. As fillers are injected into the earlobes, they partially close elongated earring holes while filling loose, sagging skin. When injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin, this compound sends signals to the brain that increase natural collagen production.
In approximately two to three months, this collagen helps improve the elasticity and strength of the skin of earlobes. The fillers counteract the effects of ageing on earlobes to make them smoother and younger. Skin filler injections do not last forever. Your injections will need to be repeated twice a year to repair the earlobes.
The patients often ask if we can include an earlobe repair in their customised facial rejuvenation plan due to age-related earlobe stretching. Our method allows you to undergo both of your chosen procedures simultaneously. This approach will reduce recovery time.
Using Surgical Skin Glue
Surgical glue for skin is also known as “tissue adhesive”, which can be used to treat cracked or torn ear lobes. It’s used to treat both major and minor wounds. As far as torn earlobe is concerned, using these liquid stitches can be a good choice.
They don’t take much time inside the operating rooms. Hence it’s feasible and handy for doctors to use surgical glue as a solution to fixing torn earlobes. Many people prefer this liquid stitching method as it takes less time to recover tissues and can return to routine activities in less time. Also, it doesn’t require physical stitches. Hence its a hassle-free treatment and super child-friendly.
Conclusion
You can treat the earlobe stretching at home if you notice early signs. You can prevent further stretching of your earlobes by avoiding heavy earrings, though they won’t heal without medical intervention.
