Ear Lobe Repair & Keloid/Scar Removal
About the procedure
Ear lobe repair and keloid or scar removal are minor surgical procedures performed to correct torn, stretched, or split earlobes and to remove abnormal scar tissue. These conditions often result from heavy earrings, trauma, or piercing complications. The procedure restores the natural shape of the earlobe and improves cosmetic appearance. Keloid removal may be combined with additional treatments to reduce recurrence. These are usually daycare procedures with minimal discomfort and quick recovery.
