Ear Lobe Repair

As we age, our ears lose collagen and elastin just like the rest of our skin. The lobes can start to droop and no longer be able to hold the weight of jewelry. We can safely and effectively restore your earlobes by injecting a small amount of dermal fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane into the lobes. The results are instant and can last for up to one year.

In addition to age, sometimes wearing large or heavy jewelry can cause the ears to tear. This can be repaired surgically in office with local anesthetic. After sutures are removed, the ears can be re-pierced in our office and earrings worn after 3-6 months.

Ear Piercing

Ear piercing should always be performed in a doctor’s office. Risk of infection and improper placement of instruments can lead to more serious complications. Our office performs ear piercing in a safe and sterile environment. Patients can bring their own gold or platinum post back studs to be used.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, ear piercing in children should be postponed until the child can properly fight off potential infection and take care of the area themselves; usually 7 or 8 years old. If you still decide to pierce your infant’s ears you should wait until the baby is at least 3 months old. The immune system will be partially developed and could fight off minor infections.

Consultation Fee is waived for any Filler performed on the same day.
