Beautiful
by Dr. Daniel Man
Dear Dr. Man, I recently saw on the Internet something called earlobe rejuvenation. This fascinates me because I’m quite embarrassed about the way my earlobes look. I’ve worn heavy earrings my whole life and I’m sure that didn’t help. Please tell me more about earlobe rejuvenation.
A: As we get older, our ear lobes tend to hollow out, stretch out, thin, enlarge, or even droop. In addition, the more people talk on the phone, sleep on their ears or wear heavier earrings, the more damage their ears may experience.
Recently, cosmetic advances have been made in the field of plastic surgery to correct problem earlobes. One such method is adding Restylane, a popular filler, to the ear lobes. In some cases, a person’s own fat is another filler that can be used. Injecting the ear lobe elevates the drooping. It can also decrease the size of the expanded hole caused by wearing heavy earrings.
Often people who have a facelift notice problems with their ear lobes. After a face lift, the ear lobe can lose the most volume. In these cases, Restylane can be very useful. By adding volume to the earlobes, earrings can hang directly outward instead of drooping down and out. The positive effects of injecting Restylane in the ear lobe offer a simple alternative to surgery.
Earlobe rejuvenation helps with resurfacing for smooth ear lobes, as well as fat transfer or Restylane for plumping up the ear lobes. Occasionally, the lobe is too large or has stretched too much. This can be easily corrected using lift, which leaves a small, inconspicuous scar that runs along the edge of the ear.
Best of luck to you.
