How is Earlobe Repair Performed?
Step 1: Consultation
To determine if you’re a candidate for earlobe repair in Fort Worth, TX, Dr. Johnson discusses your desired results. She also reviews your medical history and completes a physical exam. She then customizes the procedure to match your aesthetic goals. To prepare for the procedure, you may need to arrange for someone to drive you home afterward.
Step 2: Procedure
During the earlobe repair procedure, you receive local anesthesia to the treatment area. Dr. Johnson uses a scalpel to precisely remove unwanted tissue and redesign your earlobe. She then ensures your best aesthetic result prior to closing the defect.
Step 3: Recovery
After the procedure, follow Dr. Johnson’s detailed aftercare instructions. Get plenty of rest and avoid strenuous activity until given permission to return to regular activities. You might be encouraged to wear a protective bandage over the incision. You may notice temporary redness, tenderness, or swelling at the treatment sites. Avoid placing pressure over the treated area during the healing process.

Yes! Earlobe repair can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as facelifts, neck lifts, eyelid lifts, or other cosmetic procedures for more comprehensive results. Dr. Johnson can discuss whether combining procedures is appropriate for your specific goals and circumstances.
The amount of downtime following earlobe repair is typically minimal. Generally, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort immediately after the procedure, with recovery typically taking a few days.
Lesion removal is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Johnson. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks and potential complications that should be discussed beforehand.
