Ear hole closure or reduction is done when the ear piercing hole becomes stretched, torn or enlarged due to heavy earrings or trauma. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
Using magnification and ultra-fine sutures, the earlobe is repaired in a plastic surgery style, so the stitches are extremely small and barely visible. This helps restore the natural shape and appearance of the earlobe.
Patients can go home the same day and healing usually occurs within a few weeks.
